(CNN Spanish) - More than 200,000 people have died in Latin America and the Caribbean from causes related to covid-19.
The numbers, compiled by CNN with data from local governments and Johns Hopkins University, reinforce the region's status as one of the global epicenters of the pandemic.
The countries with the highest number of deaths are Brazil, Mexico and Peru.
These figures, however, may be higher. Several governments in the region have warned of high rates of unreported deaths.

A silent pandemic threatens the lives of many women around the world. Due to confinement orders, millions of women have been forced to stay at home, with their assailants. Fleeing from one threat, they fall into another. This is the situation in Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Argentina in the midst of the confinements due to the coronavirus.
