The total number of global cases of COVID-19 is approaching 2 million.
More than 119,000 people have died.
Almost half a million patients are reported to have recovered.
India has extended its nationwide lockdown until May 3 while China has approved an early-stage human trial for two vaccines for COVID-19.
The UK meanwhile is entering its fourth week of lockdown.
A review of measures will take place later this week.
UK ministers have said they want to be sure the country is past the peak of the outbreak before easing the restrictions.
However, there are calls for the lockdown’s relaxation amid concerns about its impact on the economy.
