Global coronavirus deaths pass 650,000 as new surges prompt fresh curbs

The global death toll from the pandemic passed 650,000 Monday, nearly a third of that number in Europe, according to an AFP tally. Since emerging in China late last year, the virus has killed a total of 650,011 people -- but more than 100,000 deaths have been recorded since July 9, and the global toll has doubled in just over two months.
