[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] The international statistics site for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), Worldometer, has reported that the global cumulative death toll from COVID-19 has surpassed 2 million. Approximately four months after surpassing 1 million deaths last September, an additional 1 million deaths have occurred. Amid the intensifying spread of variant viruses, the cumulative number of confirmed cases has exceeded 93 million and is expected to soon approach 100 million.

According to Worldometer, as of the morning of the 15th Korea Standard Time, the global cumulative death toll from COVID-19 was counted at 2,000,900. It has been less than four months since the death toll exceeded 1 million on September 25, and more than 1 million additional deaths have occurred. The country with the greatest damage is the United States, where 397,772 people have died to date, accounting for about 25% of the global deaths. This is followed by Brazil (207,160 deaths), India (151,954 deaths), Mexico (136,917 deaths), and the United Kingdom (86,015 deaths).

As fears of variant viruses discovered in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil, and the United States are spreading, the cumulative number of confirmed cases has also increased significantly. As of today, the global cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is 93,484,476, and it is expected to soon approach 100 million.
