At CNN’s ongoing coronavirus town hall, a viewer asked: How many people worldwide have recovered from the coronavirus?

The quick answer is, at least 60,000, said Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious diseases epidemiologist with the World Health Organization (WHO) — citing a figure from earlier in the week.

It has since risen; China’s National Health Commission said yesterday that 62,793 patients had recovered and been discharged from hospital.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

There are more than 125,000 cases globally, according to the WHO.

About 80% of all patients in China had a «mild form of the disease,» said Van Kerkhove — meaning they may feel unwell for a week or two.

About 20% will require advanced care in hospital, and may need more serious measures like respiratory support.

Then, a small portion of people will die. According to a report in the medical journal JAMA, the fatality rate in China is about 2.3%.
