Mexico's confirmed coronavirus cases rose to 748,315 on Thursday, according to updated data from the health ministry, along with a total reported death toll of 78,078.

Authorities reported 5,099 new cases and 432 deaths on Thursday, but the true figures are likely significantly higher due to little testing.
