The World Health Organization said that the number of deaths due to the Corona pandemic reaches 3 times the declared toll in the world.
About 130,000 people have died in Corona in Africa, compared to more than 1.1 million in Europe and more than 3.4 million worldwide, according to AFP statistics, published on Friday, according to official sources.

And there is a higher rate of deaths among people with severe symptoms from the Corona virus in Africa compared to other continents, for reasons that may include the lack of necessary care supplies, according to a global study.

Africans have so far avoided the worst damage from Corona compared to other regions in the death toll and injuries. However, the study authors concluded that the mortality rate among patients could be higher than the reported figures due to lack of data.
