The total number of coronavirus cases in the world has surpassed two million, according to the data compiled by the Johns Hopkins University.
The head of the World Health Organization has said he regrets US President Donald Trump's decision to halt funding for the organisation, but called on world unity to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Trump says he will present new guidelines allowing some states to reopen, arguing data indicates the US is "past the peak" of the coronavirus pandemic.
The "encouraging developments have put us in a very strong position to finalise the guidelines for states on reopening the country," he says, adding the new rules will be revealed at a press conference on Thursday afternoon.
"The United States of America has been a long-standing and generous friend of the WHO, and we hope it will continue to be so," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference. "We regret the decision of the president of the United States to order a halt in the funding to the WHO."
