據路透社統計，截至6月28日，全球新冠肺炎確診病例超過1000萬例，標誌着這種呼吸道疾病傳播的一個重要節點。7個月來，新冠肺炎已導致近50萬人死亡。
The figure is roughly double the number of severe influenza illnesses recorded annually, according to the World Health Organisation.

The milestone comes as many hard-hit countries are easing lockdowns while making extensive alterations to work and social life that could last for a year or more until a vaccine is available.
全球新冠肺炎確診病例超過1000萬例之際，許多遭受疫情重創的國家正在放鬆封鎖措施，同時對工作和社交生活進行大規模調整，這些調整可能會持續一年或更長時間，直到疫苗上市。
Some countries are experiencing a resurgence in infections, leading authorities to partially reinstate lockdowns, in what experts say could be a recurring pattern in the coming months and into 2021.
一些國家的感染情況正在重新擡頭，導致政府部分恢復了封鎖措施。專家表示，未來幾個月乃至2021年，這種模式會一再出現。
