The number of confirmed infections of the novel coronavirus exceeded 1.38 million globally and the death toll crossed 81,400, according to a Reuters tally as of 0200 GMT. https://tmsnrt.rs/3aIRuz7 

Reuters tally, based on officially reported data, shows the following mortality rates by region.

Global: 5.87%
Europe: 9.59%
Africa: 4.61%
Middle East: 4.08%
Latin America: 3.97%
Asia: 3.52%
North America: 3.17%
Oceania: 0.65%

France (78,167 cases) is now reporting the highest mortality rate among any countries with at least 100 cases at 13.21%, followed by Algeria (1,468 cases) at 13.15%. Italy (135,586 cases) is now third highest at 12.63%

UK (55,242 cases)'s mortality rate is at 11.15%, Netherlands (19,580 cases) at 10.73%, Spain at 9.82%. Rates for most of the countries hardest hit to date are going up, unfortunately)

US (395,855 cases) also saw its mortality rate rise to 3.22%.

South Korea's (10,384 cases) mortality rate also crept higher to 1.93%, though the number of new cases reported on a daily bases are trending lower again.

Mortality rate in Japan (5,052 cases), which recently declared a state of emergency in some parts of the country, is currently at 2.14%.

Again, usual caveats that these are all based on publicly available and published information. There are questions on the accuracy of the data for various reasons, including overwhelmed health systems, case definitions or general distrust about the data being released.

It may not be possible to get an accurate picture of how deadly COVID-19 is or how many people it has actually infected for a long time. But until there is a vaccine that everyone can get, the threat will remain for some time to come.
