The United States of America has recorded over one hundred thousand Coronavirus related deaths.

According to data by the Johns Hopkins University, the current US death toll stands at 100,276.

This number has been recorded in less than four months since the outbreak of the virus in the country.

The development means the US has seen more fatalities than any other country, while its 1.69 million confirmed infections account for about 30% of the worldwide total.

The first US infection was reported in Washington state on 21 January.

Globally there have been 5.6 million people recorded as infected and 354,983 deaths since the virus emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year.
