The world has crossed two symbolic thresholds for corona virus victims, with more than half a million deaths and 10 million cases of disease that has receded in some of its major bastions, and is still spreading and claiming more lives in the United States and other countries.

The emerging coronavirus has killed at least 505,000 and 211 people worldwide since its outbreak in China last December.

Since the start of the outbreak, more than 10,284,674,674 people have been infected with the virus since the outbreak began, and 5 million, 583,311 people have recovered.

The United States - which recorded the first death with Covid-19 in early February - is still the country worst affected by the number of deaths and injuries with more than 128,000 deaths and more than 2.6 million injuries, of whom more than one million people have recovered.

Green light for first Chinese vaccine
Kansino Biology Inc. said Monday that the Chinese army has got the green light to use a Covid-19 vaccine that it developed with a military research unit after clinical trials proved to be fairly safe and effective.

The vaccine - called AD5-in Cove - is one of 8 vaccines developed by Chinese companies and researchers have received approval to test it on humans to prevent respiratory illness caused by the Corona virus, and the vaccine has been approved for testing in humans in Canada.

Cansino said the Chinese Central Military Commission approved the army's use of the vaccine on June 25 for a year.

The vaccine was developed by Cansino and the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology under the Academy of Military Medical Sciences.

"The AD5-in Cove is currently only used for military use and cannot be expanded without the approval of the Logistics Support Administration," Cansino said, referring to the administration of the Central Military Commission that agreed to use the vaccine.

No vaccine has yet been approved for commercial use to prevent the disease caused by the emerging coronavirus, but 12 vaccines from more than 100 worldwide are being tested in humans.
