The city, with two million inhabitants, had already experienced nightmarish scenes in April and May, with mass graves and refrigerated trucks parked in front of hospitals to pile up the dead. But the situation is even worse in the beginning of 2021, since between January 1 and 11, at least 1,979 people were admitted to hospitals due to the virus, against 2,128 for the whole month of April, the worst since the start of the pandemic.

Washington. La pandemia de covid-19 ha causado la muerte de más de 5 millones de personas en el mundo desde que la oficina de la OMS en China registrara la aparición de la enfermedad a fines de diciembre del 2019, según un recuento realizado por la AFP el lunes con base en balances oficiales.

Este balance, que tiene en cuenta las muertes contabilizadas por las autoridades de salud nacionales, solo representa una parte de los fallecimientos causados por el coronavirus.
