At least 1,679, 114 people have died globally from COVID-19 since the outbreak of the disease in China last December, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP

The United States is the worst-hit country with 314,305 deaths, followed by Brazil with 185,650 fatalities, India with 145,136, Mexico with 117,249 and Italy with 68,447.

The highest numbers of new deaths over the past seven days were in the US with 18,345, Brazil with 5,213, Italy with 4,507, Mexico with 4,230 and Germany with 3,968.

This was as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announces a “stay at home” order for London and southeast England – until at least December 30 – to slow a new, significantly more infectious strain of the coronavirus.

Early data suggests the new strain could be “up to 70 per cent more transmissible”, according to Johnson.
