JAKARTA - The number of cases of the new corona virus (COVID-19) in the world surpassed the 50 million mark on Sunday, November 8, according to a count of the United States-based Johns Hopkins University.

Data shows that more than 1.25 million people died from COVID-19, while nearly 32.9 million patients recovered.

The country hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, the US, reported nearly 9.9 million infections and 237,000 more deaths, followed by India and Brazil.

India has the second highest number of COVID-19 cases in the world, with over 8.5 million cases. Meanwhile, Brazil reported the highest death toll after the US with nearly 162,300 deaths.

Overall, the corona virus has spread to 190 countries and territories since it first emerged in China last December.

One of the long-awaited medical solutions is a vaccine that is effective and safe in dealing with COVID-19.

Until now, several pharmaceutical companies in several countries have produced vaccines that have been clinically tested, but the World Health Organization (WHO) has not given approval for the use of these vaccines.
