Million pandemic: Authorities across Europe announced Thursday (Thursday) thousands of new corona virus infections. In this way, the number of people infected has passed the million people - in an epidemic that has changed the world.

The death toll from the disease now stands at around 52,000, with Italy leading the number of victims - with 13,915. The United States is the country where the most infected - 235,972 people. So far, 208,631 people have recovered from the virus, which is more than 20% of those infected - one of the bright spots in the disease.

In the UK, 569 people died of the virus in the last 24 hours in the kingdom, authorities said on Thursday. According to figures released by the British Ministry of Health, 563 people died from the plague yesterday, and the total number of dead in the kingdom is 2,921 people.

Iran is also suffering from an outbreak of the epidemic, with 50,000 people so far infected and 3,160 dead. It was reported today that the Iranian parliament's chairman and one of the country's strongest men, Ali Larijani, has also been infected with the virus.

According to ISNA publication, "Following the calls of several MPs requesting Larijani's presence in parliament, the Majles (Iranian) council made it clear that the chairman has developed symptoms for Corona and is positive in testing for the virus. He is currently undergoing quarantine and receiving treatment."

Arijani was a senior officer in the Revolutionary Guards. He belongs to the conservative stream of the regime and was formerly close to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Formerly appointed by Ahmadinejad as secretary of the Supreme Security Council in Iran, he held the position from August 15, 2005 to October 20, 2007, replacing Hassan Rouhani. Arijani was one of the two representatives of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on the council, along with Hassan Rouhani.

Recall, the virus first broke out in China early in the civilian year, in Wuhan Industrial Zone. From there, it erupted into many countries around the world, leaving tens of thousands dead, and many countries shocked by the magnitude of the damage and economic damage that had not been seen since the Second World War and the Spanish influence in the early 20th century.

Israel was also affected by the virus, according to Health Ministry data, 6,808 Israelis were infected with the virus and 34 died. In addition, the Israeli economy was also hit by the plague, and many sectors were simply silenced after the public was called to stay home.

At this point, it is unclear when the outbreak will end, but scientists from all over the world are working hard to find a vaccine aimed at restoring the world, and turning the virus that brought an entire world into homes - another disease in history books.
