More than five million people have died from the corona virus worldwide since the outbreak 19 months ago, according to data released today (Monday) by Jones Hopkins University.

About a quarter of a billion positive cases of the virus were diagnosed worldwide during this period.

Vaccines against the virus may have slowed mortality rates, but some health experts estimate that the true death toll may be much higher - up to two or three times.

In addition, in some places there has been an increase in mortality rates and morbidity for the first time in several months.

The highest number of deaths was recorded in the United States, where more than 745,800 deaths from Corona were reported.

It is followed by Brazil, with 607,824 verified deaths, and India, with 458,437.

However, experts believe that the figures in India are much higher, partly due to deaths at home and in rural communities not counted in the official census.

One million deaths have been recorded in the last 110 days.

This is compared to a little less than 90 days that have passed from three million deaths to four million.

Although the vaccines have helped reduce mortality, the World Health Organization warned last week that the epidemic was far from over.

The organization's chairman, Tedros Adhanum Gabrisis, has pointed to an increase in the number of deaths in Europe, in countries with low immunization rates. Last week, Russia recorded the highest number of deaths per day since the onset of the epidemic. Russia is responsible for 10% of the last million deaths. Registered in the world.
