By far, the virus has affected over 22.5 lakh people globally and the global death toll has risen to at least 1.5 lakh. Thankfully, more than 5.7 lakh people have been recovered from the deadly disease. In India alone, the confirmed positive cases of coronavirus have surpassed 14,700 so far, while at least 488 people have died in the country from the infection.
