Global Coronavirus Death Toll Passes 10,000

VOA News

   The coronavirus global death toll has surpassed 10,000 and more than
   244,500 people have been infected, the World Health Organization said
   Friday.

   More than 10,200 new cases were reported Friday in Europe, which WHO
   chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said earlier this week had become the
   epicenter of the outbreak after cases began to wane in China, where it
   began.

   There were 87,108 cases in Europe on Friday and 4,084 deaths.

   Spain reported 235 new deaths Friday, becoming the second European
   country after Italy to record more than 1,000 deaths.

   Spanish officials warned Friday that the situation could soon overcome
   the country's health care system. They announced plans to turn a Madrid
   conference center into a makeshift hospital. Earlier this week, a
   four-star inn in Madrid was converted into a hospital.
