Worldwide, more than
2.5 million
people
have now died as a
result of Covid 19 disease.
According to Amnesty International, at least
17,000
health workers were
among the dead
.
"It is not only tragic but also unjust that every
30 minutes
a health worker dies of Covid-19," said Steve Cockburn, head of economic and social human rights at the human rights organization on Friday.
Far too many would have had to work unprotected “and paid with their lives for it”.
