The novel coronavirus has killed at least 380,428 people since the outbreak first emerged in China last December, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP at 1100 GMT on Wednesday(7 PM Philippine time). 

At least 6,399,710 cases of coronavirus have been registered in 196 countries and territories. Of these, at least 2,756,500 are now considered recovered.

The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization (WHO), probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections. 

Many countries are testing only symptomatic cases or the most serious ones.
