More than a million people have died due to the Corona virus in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the Argentine newspaper Anubay, confirming the death of the President of the Pan American Health Organization, Carissa F. Etienne.
Etienne said that a million lives had been lost due to Corona, and she said that it was a tragic milestone for all residents of the region, noting that this epidemic is not over yet, and it is hitting Latin America hard.
Carissa F. Etienne expressed her regret that vaccines have so far reached only 3% of the population and that most countries in the region depend on fluctuations in global stocks to receive them.
According to data published by the Pan American Health Organization, “1001,781 people have died from Coronavirus in Latin America and the Caribbean. Approximately 89% of these deaths occurred in five countries: Brazil (44.3%), Mexico (22.1%) and Colombia (8.3%). ), Argentina (7.3) and Peru (6.7%).
According to the Pan American Health Organization, "3% of all deaths occurred in Central America and 1% in the Caribbean."
Etienne stressed, noting that "more than 153.5 million people have been vaccinated in the Americas, but only 21.6% of them are in Latin America and the Caribbean."
