The USA is hardest hit by the corona pandemic worldwide.
Mexico now has the third most corona deaths
Mexico
has replaced India as the country with the third most officially registered deaths as a result of the pandemic.
Mexico's Ministry of Health announced on Thursday (local time) that 1506 new deaths related to Covid-19 disease had been reported in the past 24 hours.
The total number since the beginning of the pandemic rose to 155,145.
India
has so far had 153,847 deaths.
The South Asian country has around 1.3 billion inhabitants - ten times as many as Mexico, which ranks tenth among the most populous countries.
With 1,825,519 confirmed infections, the North American country ranks 13th worldwide.
India has the second most confirmed cases after the USA with a good 10.7 million.
So far, 2,178,828 cases have been reported from Germany, whose population is around two-thirds the size of Mexico.
The fact that the number of cases in Mexico is comparatively low is mainly due to the fact that extremely little is tested for the corona virus there.
Experts also assume that the true number of corona deaths in Mexico is significantly higher than the official one - by December 12 alone, almost 275,000 more people died in Mexico last year than the average between 2015 and 2018, according to government figures.
