The number of coronavirus infections in the world has exceeded 59 million. Such data are given by the project of Johns Hopkins University.
It is noted that in just the time of the pandemic, more than 1.4 million people died, and 37.8 million were recovered from COVID-19. The leaders in the number of cases are the United States (12.4 million), India (9.1 million) and Brazil (6 million). Next on the list are France and Russia.
Earlier, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Ghebreyesus, warned of the risk that the poor would not be able to get the coronavirus vaccine. There is now a huge risk that the poorest and most vulnerable people “will be trampled in pursuit of the vaccine,” he said. According to the head of WHO, the authorities of all states must fairly distribute the vaccine among their citizens. Prior to that, Geberayeus spoke of over 60 emergencies in 2020, including a major outbreak of Chikungunya fever in Chad, yellow fever in Gabon and Togo, and measles in Mexico.
