"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.
