Johns Hopkins University
.
According to the American university, since the beginning of the pandemic the country has recorded a total of 330,193 confirmed deaths due to Covid against 12,953,597 cases of contagion.
Brazil, which had passed the threshold of 300,000 deaths last March 24,
is the second country in the world after the United States
both for the number of infections and for the number of victims in absolute terms.
Canada has passed the 1 million coronavirus threshold
.
It is learned from Canadian television.
The country is facing a third wave of the virus, forcing several provinces to tighten restrictions.
To date, just over 23,000 people have died.
Pakistan has recorded a record 3,568 ICU hospitalizations for Covid in the past 24 hours,
a figure that puts a strain on the health system's resilience.
This was announced by the Ministry of Health.
Also in the last 24 hours in the Asian country, 5,020 new infections and 81 deaths have been recorded.
The total number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic thus rises to almost 688 thousand and that of deaths to 14,778.
