A pandemic of the novel coronavirus has now killed more than 901,000 people worldwide.
Over 27.7 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The criteria for diagnosis -- through clinical means or a lab test -- has varied from country-to-country. Still, the actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some national governments are hiding or downplaying the scope of their outbreaks.
Since the first cases were detected in China in December, the virus has rapidly spread to every continent except Antarctica.
The United States is the worst-affected country, with more than 6.35 million diagnosed cases and at least 190,784 deaths.
California has the most cases of any U.S. state, with more than 747,000 people diagnosed, according to Johns Hopkins data. California is followed by Texas and Florida, with over 667,000 cases and over 652,000 cases respectively.
Nearly 170 vaccine candidates for COVID-19 are being tracked by the World Health Organization, at least six of which are in crucial phase three trials.
The coronavirus has now claimed more than 900,000 lives across the globe.
The total number of confirmed deaths from COVID-19 reached the grim milestone late Wednesday. There have been 900,203 confirmed deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
At the same time, there have been more than 27 million cases reported worldwide.
The U.S. crossed 190,000 deaths earlier in the day.
In New York City -- once the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic -- indoor dining can resume on Sept. 30 at a 25% capacity, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday.
Tables must be spaced 6 feet apart, Cuomo said, and at least one diner in each party must leave contact information.
The governor asked New Yorkers to help report any restaurants that violate the 25% capacity rule.
If there is a spike in infection rate, the city can "hit the emergency pause button," Cuomo said.
If there is no rise in infection rate, "we can always reassess the guidelines and go from 25% to 50%," he said.
Nov. 1 has been set as the benchmark date for upping indoor capacity to 50%, he said.
The Department of Health and Human Services will allow licensed pharmacists to administer COVID-19 vaccines to children ages 3 and up, when or if a vaccine is made available, Surgeon General Jerome Adams announced Wednesday.
In August, the Health and Human Services Department said pharmacists would be permitted to provide routine childhood vaccinations amid concerns that kids were missing out on visits to their doctors during the pandemic.
But the American Academy of Pediatrics called that decision "incredibly misguided," saying children would not get the same level of care from a pharmacist that they would from pediatricians. The American Academy of Pediatrics stressed that doctors' offices are open and safe.

Miami University in Ohio reported 159 new cases of the coronavirus over the Labor Day weekend, bringing the university's total number of cases to 1,037 in the last two weeks, according to a school dashboard.
Over the long weekend, six Miami University students were cited for breaking the city’s ordinance against large gatherings, ABC Cincinnati affiliate WCPO reported.
The students told police they tested positive for COVID-19 and were supposed to be quarantining, WCPO reported.
