Germany exceeds 40,000 deaths from coronavirus
Germany has registered 16,946 new
coronavirus
infections
in the last 24 hours and 465 deaths, with which the
pandemic
has already claimed more than 40,000 fatalities in the country, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported this Sunday.
The daily figures are clearly lower than those of the previous days, as is usually the case on weekends because some local centers are not operational and not all data is transmitted to the central.
The record of deaths was communicated this Saturday, with 1,188 victims.
In total, 1,908,527 people have been infected with
Sars-CoV2
in Germany
, of which 40,343 have died.
The RKI estimates that 1,525,300 individuals have already overcome the disease.

One year after the first death in China, the origin of the coronavirus remains unknown
It is the world's most pressing scientific enigma, but experts warn that a plausible answer to the origin of the
coronavirus
may never be found
, after months of research marked by disorganization, China's secrecy and grudges.
Saturday marked a year since the first
confirmed
coronavirus
death
in China, that of a 61-year-old man who used to go to the now infamous Wuhan fish market.
Almost two million deaths later, the
pandemic
is out of control around the world and has caused tens of millions of sick people, the collapse of the world economy and led to a multitude of disputes and reproaches between countries.
China, which has largely controlled the pandemic on its soil, continues to impede independent attempts to find out the origins of the virus and to answer the central question of how it was transmitted from animals to humans.

Meeting of Health and Interior for the distribution of vaccines against the coronavirus
The Ministries of Health and the Interior plan to hold a meeting to design a plan that, despite the difficulties caused by the storm

8.25 The world registers the worst daily death toll from coronavirus
The daily mortality due to the action of the
coronavirus
has registered its most serious data so far in the pandemic with 15,000 deaths from
Covid-19
, while several countries already apply aggressive vaccination plans.
For the World Health Organization (WHO), it is a record figure that places the total number of deaths from the
pandemic
at 1.9 million.
The agency of the United Nations system also affirmed that 800,000 new infections of the pathogen were also registered, one of the highest daily figures in more than a year of health crisis, and that leaves the global total at 87.5 million.
For its part, the figures given by the Johns Hopkins University tend to be closer to those of the WHO, since they register that in the same period of time 14,858 people died from Covid-19, while 812,212 affected were confirmed.
According to the WHO, in Europe, with an accumulated 28 million cases and 622,000 deaths, and which registered 273,000 infections and 6,000 deaths between Friday and Saturday, there is no evidence for now a clear rebound compared to previous weeks.
It is America that worries the most.
440,000 positive diagnoses and 7,800 deaths were added in the same day, so that the continent accumulates in more than a year of a pandemic 38 million infections and more than 900,000 deaths.
