Deaths from deadly Covid-19 jumped to 3,78,119 globally with total number of cases 64,03,590 while recovered 29,32,760, according to worldometer.
The pandemic is persisting on a stubborn but uneven path in the United States, where 1,06,944 Americans have died of Covid-19 with total cases 18,60,613, according to worldometer.
A new projection finds the virus costing the U.S. economy $7.9 trillion. Poor countries face debt crises.
The Congressional Budget Office projected on Monday that the pandemic would inflict a devastating long-term blow on the United States economy, costing $7.9 trillion over the next decade.
Without adjusting for inflation, the agency said, the pandemic would cost $16 trillion over the next 10 years. The estimates were an official tally of the damage from the crisis, reflecting expectations of dampened consumer spending and business investment in the years to come. Much of the diminished output was projected to be a result of weaker inflation, as prices for energy and transportation are expected to increase more slowly than they otherwise would have as Americans pull back on travel.
Deaths from the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy climbed by 60 on Monday, against 75 the day before, the Civil Protection Agency said, while the daily tally of new cases fell to just 178 from 355 on Sunday.
The total death toll since the outbreak came to light on Feb. 21 now stands at 33,475, the agency said, the third highest in the world after those of the United States and Britain. The number of confirmed cases amounts to 233,197, the sixth highest global tally behind those of the United States, Russia, Brazil, Spain and Britain.
People registered as currently carrying the illness fell to 41,367 from 42,075 the day before. There were 424 people in intensive care on Monday, down from 435 on Sunday, maintaining a long-running decline. Of those originally infected, 158,355 were declared recovered against 157,507 a day earlier.
The agency said 2.452 million people had been tested for the virus as of Monday, against 2.434 million on Sunday, out of a population of around 60 million.
Spain’s Health Ministry reported no new deaths from the new coronavirus on Monday, with the total death toll unchanged from Sunday at 27,127, the health ministry said.
It said the total number of COVID-19 infections increased by 71 from Sunday to 239,638.
