The agency notes that this symbolic threshold was crossed just over a year after the new coronavirus was first detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan. In this context, countries around the world are racing against time to vaccinate their populations.
The number of deaths from coronavirus is roughly equal to the population of large cities such as Brussels, Mecca, Minsk or Vienna.
Johns Hopkins University data is based on official statistics. The actual number of deaths is estimated to be significantly higher. The lower official figures are due in part to insufficient evidence and an inaccurate attribution of many deaths to other causes, especially early in the pandemic.
It took eight months to cross the threshold of 1 million deaths. The 2 million death mark was surpassed less than four months later.

At the same time, the data shows that those infected with coronavirus at 9:00 p.m. Bulgarian time on January 15, 2021 are 93,930,373. The healed are 67,032,461.
