The number of COVID-19 deaths around the world has now reached a milestone, a report by the Agence France Presse, AFP, has shown.

The world passed the “tragic milestone” of four million recorded Covid-19 deaths on Wednesday, the World Health Organization said, adding that the true toll was likely higher.

“The world is at a perilous point in this pandemic. We have just passed the tragic milestone of four million recorded Covid-19 deaths, which likely underestimates the overall toll,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference.
