More than 20 million coronavirus cases have been now been registered across the world, over half in the Americas. More than 733,000 deaths have now been reported.
The pace of the pandemic appears to be stabilising across the world, with an additional one million cases detected roughly every four days since mid-July.
It took 94 days for one million infections to be registered, after the announcement of the first official case in China. 86 days later, on 28 June, the 10 million barrier was broken.
The number of known infections has since doubled in a month and a half. More than four out of 10 coronavirus cases have been in the United States and Brazil, the two most affected countries in the world.
