GENEVA (Sputnik) - Over one million people have died from COVID-19 globally since the start of the year, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Thursday.
"This week we crossed the tragic milestone of one million reported deaths so far this year. We cannot say we are learning to live with COVID-19 when one million people have died with COVID 19 this year alone," Ghebreyesus said at a WHO virtual press conference on COVID-19 and other global health issues.
Last week, Ghebreyesus said that the number of deaths from COVID-19 had increased by 35% over the month.
