Corona deaths increase in Latin America
The United States began the year 2021, this Friday, crossing the threshold of twenty million confirmed cases of Covid-19, since the beginning of the epidemic on its soil, according to reference figures from Johns Hopkins University.
In the United States, more than 346,400 deaths were also accounted for by the epidemic, making it the most affected country in the world.
The United States approached the threshold of four thousand deaths from Covid-19 in 24 hours, Wednesday, a new record number as the world prepares for the New Year in the hope that vaccines will allow the elimination of this epidemic.
And Johns Hopkins University announced the death of 3,927 people from the new Corona virus in the last twenty-four hours before 8:30 pm in the United States, the country most affected by the epidemic in the world.
On December 31, 2019, China informed the World Health Organization of its first infection with the Coronavirus, which was a mystery at the time.
Since then, this virus has infected more than 83 million people worldwide, killing around 1.82 million of them, according to an AFP census.
The period of frequent travel and year-end vacations will contribute to exacerbating the spread of the infection.
The United States may authorize a vaccine developed by the US group “Johnson & Johnson” in February, which is also highly anticipated, because it requires an injection, unlike vaccines that have been licensed so far.
The United States has so far allowed two vaccines, Pfizer / Biontech and Moderna. About 2.8 million people received the first injection, well below the target set by the administration of US President Donald Trump.
The mutated Corona virus was detected in the western United States, with two cases reported, one in Colorado and the other in the city of San Diego in southern California.
