Coronavirus: More than 113.000 deaths worldwide

An overview

Newsroom April 13 01:42

Almost 2 million confirmed cases of the new coronavirus have been recorded worldwide, but scientists argue that the number is very small compared to the real one.

The death toll in the United States is unimaginable, reaching almost 2.000 casualties every day.

There are 113.793 people in the world who have lost their lives to the coronavirus, according to a French report based on official sources.

As of late December, 1.844.988 people in 193 countries and territories had been diagnosed with the Covid-19.

This number is only a fraction of the real number, as many countries do not run tests except to people who need treatment. Of these patients, at least 375.000 have now been released.

In the last 24 hours, 79.512 new cases and 5.441 new deaths were reported.

The countries with the highest number of deaths in the last 24 hours are the USA (1.920), Britain (737) and Spain (619).
