WHO worried about international situation
If epidemic pressure drops in France, it "worsens" worldwide. These are the words of the boss of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who warned on Monday against all sloppiness. "Although the situation in Europe is improving, in the world it is getting worse," he said at a virtual press conference in Geneva.
Over 404,000 dead worldwide
The coronavirus pandemic has killed at least 404,245 people worldwide since its onset in December in China, according to a report by AFP from official sources on Monday evening. Over 7 million cases of infection have been officially diagnosed in 196 countries and territories. The United States has recorded 110,771 deaths. Then come the United Kingdom with 40,597 dead, Brazil with 36,455 dead, Italy with 33,964 dead, and France with 29,209 dead.
China (excluding the territories of Hong Kong and Macao), where the epidemic began at the end of December, officially counted a total of 83,040 cases (4 new between Sunday and Monday), including 4,634 deaths and 78,341 cures.
The days pass and Brazil plunges a little more into a dramatic situation. The South American giant is now the third country in the world with the most deaths linked to coronavirus. Experts believe, however, that official figures are largely underestimated. Despite this context, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro threatened to leave the World Health Organization. "Either the WHO works without ideological bias, or we leave it too. We don't need outsiders to give their feelings about health here," he said.
