Global coronavirus death toll surpasses 400,000

The global coronavirus death toll topped the 400,000 mark Sunday, health officials said.

More than a quarter of the fatalities, or 109,928, have occurred in the US — the highest number of any country, according to statistics compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

The country with the second highest death toll is the UK, with more than 40,500 people dead so far from the contagion.

But world health officials have warned that the actual fatality figures are likely higher, since many people who died have not been tested for the virus.
