The number of cases worldwide continues to climb. According to health officials, there have been 126,443 confirmed cases of COVID-19. More than 68,300 people have recovered, and 4,641 people have died.

The spread of the coronavirus across more than 100 countries now qualifies as a global pandemic, World Health Organization officials said on Wednesday, confirming what many epidemiologists have been saying for weeks. There is evidence on six continents of sustained transmission of the virus, which has infected more than 126,000 people and killed more than 4,600. The last pandemic declared by the W.H.O. was in 2009, for a new strain of H1N1 influenza.
