Coronavirus death toll tops 10,000 worldwide
By Vanessa Chalmers Health Reporter For Mailonline 09:10 GMT 20 Mar 2020 , updated 09:50 GMT 20 Mar 2020
Almost half of all COVID-19 deaths have occurred in Europe, with Italy reporting devastatingly high numbers every day.
China, where the killer virus first emerged, accounts for a third of all victims, having battled the disease since December 2019.
More than 245,000 cases have been reported across the globe, soaring from 100,000 reported just two weeks ago.
More than half (164,600) are outside of China, despite it originally reporting 90 per cent of all cases in the early days of the pandemic.

Sanitisation operations have also been taking place throughout the country in a bid to stem the danger of contagion and spread of Covid-19 Coronavirus
The latest figures have squashed hopes that the unprecedented national lockdown was helping to slow the spread of the pathogen. Pictured: Intensive care unit of the hospital of Brescia, Italy
