Another day of the coronavirus pandemic saw the global death toll pass 94,000, although there were tentative signs of hope that the crisis was peaking in the United States and Europe, AFP reported.
Another 1,700 people died in the United States while there were hundreds more deaths across Europe, driving the confirmed global toll above 94,000.
Nearly half of all pandemic fatalities have occurred over the past week.
But authorities in Europe and the United States said a slight decline in daily deaths and infections gave reason to hope the worst could be over.
