The toll of the new Corona virus in the world
The new Corona virus has caused the death of at least 978,448 people in the world since it was reported that the disease appeared in China at the end of December, according to a census conducted by Agence France-Presse based on official sources Thursday.
More than 31,975,020 people around the world have been infected with the emerging coronavirus, of whom 21,891,500 have recovered to date.
These numbers only reflect part of the actual number of injuries, as several countries do not conduct tests except for the most serious cases, while other countries give priority to conducting tests to track contacts of the injured, in addition to the limited testing capabilities of a number of poor countries.
