Worldwide COVID-19 cases have passed 1.1 million, and at least 60,000 people have died from the virus.

There have been 708 deaths in a day in the United Kingdom.

A five-year-old child with underlying health conditions is believed to be the youngest UK victim.

There have been 630 COVID-19 deaths in New York state in the US in a single day.

US President Trump has rejected his own experts' advice on wearing a face mask.

Spain has also reported another 809 deaths, but there are signs its infection rate is slowing.

There is hopeful news in Italy as the country sees its first drop in patients receiving intensive care for the coronavirus.
