[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) worldwide has approached 2 million. Johns Hopkins University, which has been tracking global COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths, once reported that the cumulative confirmed cases exceeded 2 million, but it was later confirmed that there was an error in the counting process.

As of 2 PM Korea time on the 14th, according to the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 real-time statistics site, which has been tracking global COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths, the current number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is 1,920,985.

The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases reached 1 million on the 3rd, and in just 11 days, it has approached 2 million.

By country, the United States has the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. In the U.S., there have been 582,580 confirmed COVID-19 cases. This is followed by Spain (170,099), Italy (159,516), France (137,875), Germany (130,072), the United Kingdom (89,571), and China (83,302).

Earlier, Johns Hopkins University mistakenly counted the confirmed cases in Ocalusa, Florida, causing the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. to be overestimated by more than 100,000.

In the U.S., 23,622 people have died from COVID-19, the highest number of deaths by country. This is followed by Italy (20,465), Spain (17,756), France (14,986), and the United Kingdom (11,347).
