More than 13 million cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in the world, more than half of them in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, according to a tally compiled by Agence France-Presse based on official sources on Monday at 20:00 GMT.
At least 13 million and 166 injuries were reported, including 569 thousand and 990 deaths, the majority of which are in the United States, the country most affected by the pandemic, with three and 341 thousand and 838 injuries, including 135 thousand and 425 deaths, and in Latin America and the Caribbean (three million and 380 thousand and 218 injuries Including 144 thousand and 847 deaths), and Europe recorded two million, 849 thousand and 335 injuries, including 202 thousand and 780 deaths.
The pace of the pandemic continues to accelerate in the world, with more than 2.6 million new infections recorded since July 1.
These numbers only reflect part of the true number of injuries, as many countries only conduct tests for the most serious cases, while other countries give priority to conducting tests to track contacts of the injured, while a number of poor countries have limited examination capabilities.
On Monday, the World Health Organization warned that many countries are not taking appropriate measures to confront the epidemic
