More than 3 million COVID-19 confirmed worldwide...Hot spots are also easing.

More than 3 million people have been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus.

However, in New York, Italy, and Spain, which are considered "hot spots" of COVID-19, the spread has slowed down a bit, and they are gradually easing the blockade.

On the other hand, the number of confirmed cases in Africa and Latin America has rapidly increased, raising concerns that poor medical conditions could increase the size of the damage.

The number of confirmed global patients has exceeded 3 million in 118 days since China reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization (WHO) on Dec. 31.

The global spread of COVID-19 began to steep sharply in the middle of last month, surpassing 1 million on the 2nd, 13 days later on the 15th of this month, and reached 3 million on the same day, 12 days later.
