It took 90 days from the first reported death in Wuhan, China, on 11 January for countries to record more than 100,000 confirmed coronavirus fatalities.

Just 16 days later, that total has passed 200,000. But which countries have been hardest hit?

The US has suffered the largest death toll, with more than 52,400 recorded.

Italy, for weeks the epicentre of Europe's pandemic, has seen 26,384 deaths and is now beginning to talk about a new "Phase Two", when it can start reopening society

Spain, France and the UK are the other countries to report death tolls above 20,000.

In Spain, children under 14 will finally be allowed outside for the first time in six weeks on Sunday. French PM Edouard Philippe has just said he will detail his country's plan to relax the lockdown on Tuesday.

Among the most severely affected countries, Belgium has the highest number of deaths per capita, with six deaths per 100,000 people compared with 4.9 in Spain and 1.6 in the US.

But, unlike many countries, Belgium records suspected coronavirus deaths in care homes while many other countries have reported these at a later stage.

There have been more than 7,000 deaths recorded in Asian countries and a similar number in Latin America, while in the Middle East the figure is over 8,800. The current toll in Africa stands at about 1,350.
