At the time of writing this article the coronavirus cases worldwide currently stands at 203,579 with 8226 confirmed deaths. As frightening a number that might seem, 82,866 people confirmed to have contracted the virus have actually recovered.

The cases that doctors are currently having to deal with stands at 112,487 worldwide. That number is broken down by ‘in Mild Condition’, which is 106,059 (94%) and 6,428 (6%) which are considered ‘Serious or Critical’.
