The United States is the worst-hit country with 3,055,101 cases and 132,309 deaths, while Brazil is on second spot having registered 1,713,160 cases and 67,964 deaths.
The tallies probably reflect only a fraction of the number of infections as many countries test only the most serious cases.
In Tokyo, 224 new cases of coronavirus infection have been recorded, marking a record high for the Japanese capital in a single day. The authorities are focused on testing the city’s night-life districts.
“Although the increase in (testing) is a contributing factor, we need more vigilance in monitoring the trend in infected people,” she said in remarks streamed online.
As being reported, Thursday’s tally surpassed the previous high of 206 on April 17 when Tokyo and other major population centers were under a state of emergency.
Meanwhile, Indonesia has also reported its biggest single-day increase in new coronavirus cases, with 2,657 infections, taking cases tally to 70,736.
Health ministry official Achmad Yurianto said that Indonesia has also reported 58 new coronavirus-related deaths, bringing the total number of fatalities in the country to 3,417.
On Thursday, India has reported a record one-day surge in infections of nearly 25,000, taking the nationwide COVID-19 tally to 791,559.
