The number of coronavirus recoveries worldwide has topped one million
According to figures published by Johns Hopkins University, the number of people who have recovered from the virus stood at 1,014,916 on Friday.
The highest number of recoveries is in the United States, at 153,947, followed by Germany with 123,500.
There are 112,050 recovered cases in Spain, according to the figures, and 78,523 in China.
The university puts UK recoveries at 859, which appears low compared to many other countries – including Ireland which it puts at more than 13,000 recoveries.
Some have suggested this is because many countries around the world, the UK included, cannot be sure exactly how many people have been infected in the first place due to a lack of testing, therefore make it hard to assess how many people have recovered from COVID-19.
According to official figures in Ireland, more than 9,000 people who tested positive for coronavirus have now recovered.
In Uganda, latest figures from the Ministry of Health on Thursday (April 30) showed that COVID-19 confirmed cases stood at 83, with 52 recoveries and no deaths.
