Data from Johns Hopkins University shows that more than 250 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the coronavirus was declared a pandemic in March 2020. It took about eight months for the milestone of 50 million cases to be reached, but the number of new cases has since increased by the same amount approximately every three months. Average daily case numbers have steadily fallen since peaking at 826,000 in late April, although case numbers have been rising in recent weeks. The global death toll from COVID-19 exceeds five million, while about 3.1 billion people are now fully vaccinated.
