The new Corona virus (Covid-19) has killed at least 1,087.513 million people in the world since the WHO office in China reported the outbreak of the disease in late December, and more than 38,221,850 million confirmed infections were recorded until yesterday. , While at least 26,407,800 million people have recovered.

According to a toll prepared by Agence France-Presse based on official sources, while a study published by the scientific journal Nature Medicine stated that "Covid-19" is responsible for a greater number of deaths than what was reported in 19 western countries.

The statistics showed that 5,280 deaths and 336,591 thousand new infections were recorded around the world, the day before yesterday, and based on recent reports, India recorded the largest number of new deaths (730), followed by the United States (718) and Mexico (475).

The United States is the most affected country in the world, as it recorded a total of 215,914 thousand deaths out of 7,859,320 million injuries, according to the Johns Hopkins University census.

At least 3,124,593 million people have recovered.

Brazil is the country most affected by the virus after the United States, as the number of deaths on its soil reached 150.998 thousand out of 5.113.628 million infections, then India, which recorded 110.586 thousand deaths out of 7,239,389 million infections, and Mexico, which announced 84,420 deaths out of 825,340 thousand Injuries, followed by the United Kingdom with 43018 deaths out of 634.920 thousand injuries.

Peru is the country with the highest number of deaths compared to its population, with 101 deaths per 100,000 people, followed by Belgium (88), Bolivia (72) and Brazil (71).

In addition, a study published yesterday estimated that the first wave of the "Covid-19" epidemic is responsible on average for 20% more deaths, directly and indirectly, than official figures in about 20 western countries.

And 19 European countries, Australia and New Zealand recorded about 206 thousand more deaths than expected in the event that the "Covid-19" epidemic did not appear between mid-February and last May, according to a study published in the scientific journal, Nature Medicine.

But only 167,000 deaths have been officially attributed to "Covid-19".

The study indicated that the difference, which is about 40 thousand deaths, can be attributed to the disease in two ways.

Directly, at the start of an epidemic when overcrowded hospitals were unable to systematically test all of their patients.

And indirectly, with deaths from other causes, the overload on hospitals did not prevent it.

The study showed that England and Wales, as well as Spain, are the most affected, with an increase of 37-38% in deaths at the expected levels in the absence of an epidemic, compared to an increase of 18% in the rate in all countries included, followed by Italy, Scotland and Belgium, while France occupies Eighth place, with an increase in the number of deaths at a rate of 13%, while a group of 10 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Hungary and Norway, managed to avoid a significant increase in deaths.

And mass examinations began after dozens of injuries were discovered on the weekend.

All cases were related to a local hospital.

The authorities aim to complete the examination of the total population of nine million people within five days, and no additional injuries were found.

The authorities used the "pooled samples" system, which means collecting individual samples from each population, and then examining all 10 samples at once in one DNA test.

Wuhan, where the virus began to appear late last year, used the same method to screen nine million people in 10 days after a limited outbreak occurred last May.

And if infection with the virus is detected in the collected sample, all 10 individuals are notified and required to perform DNA tests individually, according to the Qingdao Municipal Health Commission.

Yesterday, the National Health Commission of China announced that it had received reports of 20 new confirmed cases of corona on the mainland.
