Hyderabad: The coronavirus pandemic has infected more than 4,90,31,012 and killed over 12,39,608 people across the world. More than 3,49,83,279 people have recovered so far.
The US is the worst-hit nation with cases more than 99,19,522 and facilities over 2,40,953.
Australia’s highest court on Friday upheld a state’s border closure and dismissed billionaire businessman Clive Palmer’s argument that the pandemic measure was unconstitutional.
The state shut its border to the rest of Australia on April 5 and has maintained the travel restriction despite not recording a case of COVID-19 community transmission since April 11.
The state government argues the measure has enabled its iron ore miners to maintain output and earn their highest prices in six years while their main rivals in Brazil have had production disrupted by pandemic absenteeism.
The United States now has over 200-thousand recorded deaths, followed by Brazil, India, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
