More than 100 million novel Coronavirus cases was recorded worldwide on Tuesday, according to the Johns Hopkins University data. The global case count reached 10,00,32,461, with a total of 21,49,818 deaths worldwide, as of 2.22 pm local time.
The number of cases, compiled from data provided by national health agencies, represents just a fraction of the real infections as the virus has spread around the globe. The US, which passed 25 million cases last weekend, remains the country with the largest outbreak - and the largest death toll of over 4,20,000.
