The world's death toll from coronavirus is now approaching 100,000.

96,000 people have now lost their lives, and more than 1.6 million people have been got Covid-19.

The virus continues to grow sharply in the US, where there are now nearly half a million cases and 17,000 deaths.

Tedros Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organisation, says it's difficult to tell how many more cases there'll be.

"When it started many people didn't know how it would behave, still there are many unknowns and we don't know how it will behave in the future"
