The global COVID-19 death toll has exceeded 120,000 as of 18:00 BJT on Tuesday, and the total confirmed cases nearly 2 million, according to Johns Hopkins University.
The top five countries for overall deaths were the U.S., Italy, Spain, France and UK.
The number of new cases of COVID-19 is easing in some parts of Europe, including Italy and Spain, but outbreaks are still growing in Britain and Turkey, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.
"The overall world outbreak, 90 percent of cases are coming from Europe and the United States of America. So we are certainly not seeing the peak yet," WHO spokeswoman Dr. Margaret Harris told a briefing in Geneva.
