The number of people who died from the new coronavirus has exceeded 6 million worldwide.
WHO = The World Health Organization has repeatedly called for additional vaccinations and thorough infection control measures, saying that "there are still many countries with high hospitalization and death rates."
According to a summary by Johns Hopkins University in the United States, the death toll from the infection with the new coronavirus has exceeded 6 million and 6 million people worldwide as of 7:00 pm on the 7th of Japan time.
The United States has the highest death toll at 985,621, followed by Brazil at 652,438, India at 515,102, Russia at 349,850, and Mexico at 319,859.
The death toll in the world was 250 days until it exceeded 1 million, 108 days until it exceeded 2 million, 93 days until it exceeded 3 million, and 4 million. The interval was getting shorter, 82 days.
However, after that, the pace is slowing down, with 116 days until the number exceeds 5 million, and 126 days until the number exceeds 6 million this time.
WHO Secretary-General Tedros said at a press conference yesterday, "It is encouraging that deaths are declining globally and in most regions, but many countries still have high rates of hospitalization and death and low vaccination rates. We are calling for additional vaccinations and thorough infection control measures.
