It has been less than 4 months since the world learned of the first known virus-related death, and since then the disease has spread to more than 210 nations and territories.
The world has reached another grim coronavirus milestone, where there are more than 200,000 COVID-19 related deaths.
With more than 2.8 million people infected worldwide, the World Health Organization (WHO) is warning against some countries seeking to issue immunity passes.
Some nations are reportedly considering allowing people who have recovered from the disease to move without restrictions due to the belief that they now have antibodies in their system.
But the WHO said there is no evidence that those who contracted and recovered from the virus will not contract it again.
Five countries have reported death tolls above 20,000.
