The novel coronavirus has killed at least 364,362 people since the outbreak first emerged in China last December, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP at 11 GMT on Saturday(7 PM Philippine time).

At least 5,931,510 cases of coronavirus have been registered in 196 countries and territories. At least 2,455,400 of these are 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.
