The number of people who have died from the coronavirus has passed the 100,000 mark tonight.
According to Worldometers, which collects death toll and case data from Government sources across the world, Covid-19 fatalities passed the 100,000 mark shortly after 5pm (GMT).

Around 360,000 globally have now recovered from the disease.
While few infections were confirmed in the US in February and March - when the coronavirus was coursing through Europe - the total there is now three times that of any other country.
There have been close to 500,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the USA, with around 17,000 people having lose their lives to the disease.
Spain and Italy are the second worst affected, with around 150,000 confirmed cases each and death tolls that are nearing 20,000.
Germany and France follow on in the global rankings with similar numbers of confirmed cases, although France's death toll is six times higher.
Germany's low death rate is attributed to strict social distancing measures and mass testing not seen in other European countries.
China, Iran, the UK, Turkey and Belgium make up the remainder of the top ten in terms of confirmed cases.
On Wednesday World Health Organisation Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke on the hundredth day of the coronavirus pandemic - or 100 days since the organisation was first notified of an infection which turned out to be Covid-19.
"Throughout, our focus has been on working with countries and with partners to bring the world together to confront this common threat together," he said.
"We are especially concerned with protecting the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, not just in the poorest countries, but in all countries.
"For the past 100 days, our unwavering commitment has been to serve all people of the world with equity, objectivity and neutrality.
"And that will continue to be our sole focus in the days, weeks and months ahead.
"Finally, this is a special time of year for Christians, Jews and Muslims around the world.
"Today WHO has published practical considerations and recommendations for faith-based communities.
"We know that COVID-19 means billions of believers are not able to celebrate in the way they usually would.
"But we wish everyone a safe and joyful Easter, Passover and Ramadan."
It is unknown how long the coronavirus pandemic will last for.
While a slowing of new cases and a declining death toll is in sight for most European countries, parts of Africa and South America are expected to be hit by the full force of the virus later this year.
South Korea and China, which were affected by the virus early on, are reported cases in the low single double digits now with a handfull of Covid-19 deaths a day.
It is unknown if the virus will have a resurgence in those countries.
