The number of people worldwide who have beaten the coronavirus topped 1 million on Thursday.

The death toll from COVID-19 reached nearly 240,000 Thursday morning — but more than four times as many afflicted with the virus have now tested negative, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Since the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, more than 3.2 million people have been infected by the bug across the globe, the university reported.

The US has reported more than 1 million cases, with more than 61,000 people killed by the virus — while nearly 125,000 have recovered in America, Johns Hopkins reported.
