The number of Covid-19-related deaths in the world exceeded three million on Saturday, April 17, TV3 News reports.
In turn, the total number of infections exceeds 140 million. However, the situation is not homogeneous. Some countries, such as Israel, have benefited from mass vaccination campaigns, while elsewhere, such as India, the authorities need to combat the sharp rise in infections. In Europe, the number of Covid-19-related deaths exceeds one million.
“Infections are declining only in the elderly. The trend among people over the age of 80 is different from what we see in all other age groups. This may be due to the high proportion of vaccinations in this group, ”says Hans Klūge, WHO Regional Director for Europe.
Dissatisfaction with strict restrictions to curb the spread of the virus also continues in many places. In Argentina, for example, there are protests against the ban on face-to-face training.
