We're close to reaching another sombre figure in the coronavirus pandemic, as the number of confirmed cases gets near to two million, according to Johns Hopkins University, which is tracking the disease globally.
Nearly 130,000 people have died and more than 500,000 have recovered, according to the US university's figures.
The US has the most cases, and more than 26,000 people have now died there.
The disease first emerged in central China just over three months ago and while it took a month and a half for the first 100,000 cases to be registered, that figure has accelerated since.
A million cases were reached on 2 April and that number has now more than doubled.
