The new Corona virus has killed at least 375,555 people worldwide since its appearance in China in December, according to an AFP census based on official sources at 11:00 am N Tuesday.
More than 6,279,390 infections have been officially registered in 196 countries and regions since the outbreak began, with at least 2,648,000 people recovering.
The numbers only reflect part of the true number of injuries, as many countries only carry out tests for the most serious cases, while other countries give priority to conducting investigations to track those who are infected, and a number of poor countries have limited screening capabilities.
The United States, which recorded its first death in Covid-19 in early February, is the country worst affected by the number of deaths and injuries with 105,147 deaths out of 1,811,277 injuries. At least 458,231 people were cured.
After the United States, the countries most affected by the epidemic are the United Kingdom with 39,045 deaths out of 276,332 injuries followed by Italy with 33,475 deaths (233,197 injuries), Brazil with 29,937 deaths (526,447 injuries), and France with 28,833 deaths (189,220 injuries).
To date, China (excluding Macao and Hong Kong) has reported 4,634 deaths out of 83,022 recovery cases, including 78,315 people.
As of Tuesday noon, Europe had 179,309 deaths out of 2,177,390 injuries, while the number of deaths announced in the United States and Canada reached 112,533 (1,902,982 injuries), Latin America and the Caribbean 52,751 deaths (1,052,876 injuries), Asia 16,870 deaths (571,393 injuries) and the Middle East 9628 deaths ( 413,951 injuries) and Africa 4,333 deaths (152,208 injuries) and Oceania 131 deaths (8,591 injuries).
This toll was prepared on the basis of data collected by the offices of Agence France-Presse from the competent national authorities and information published by the World Health Organization.
Because of numbers corrections made by national authorities or late publication of data, increases in the past 24 hours may vary with figures for the previous day.
