A top official from the World Health Organization says Europe has surpassed 1 million deaths from COVID-19 and the situation remains “serious,” with about 1.6 million new cases reported each week in the region.
Overall, a tally by Johns Hopkins University shows nearly 3 million deaths have been linked to COVID-19 worldwide, with the Americas hardest hit, followed by Europe. The United States,and Mexico have reported the highest number of deaths, with a collective total of more than 1.1 million. Speaking to reporters during a visit to Greece, Dr. Hans Kluge of the WHO did point to “early signs that transmission may be slowing across several countries” and cited “declining incidence” among the oldest people.
He said the proportion of COVID-19 deaths among people over 80, who have been prioritized for vaccines, had dropped to nearly 30% — the lowest level in the pandemic.In France, the COVID-19 death toll is expected to pass 100,000 on Thursday after a year of on-and-off lockdowns and personal loss that have left families across the country grieving the pandemic’s unending, devastating toll.
The nation of 67 million would be the eighth in the world to reach the symbolic mark, and the third in Europe
