WHO, threshold of 7 million deaths from Covid exceeded – Health

“Unfortunately at the end of 2023, we have exceeded the threshold of 7 million Covid19 deaths reported to the WHO” since the outbreak of the pandemic. The director of Preparation and Prevention of Epidemics and Pandemics at the WHO, Maria Van Kerkhove, wrote it on X. As of December 31, 2023, the cumulative death toll was “7,010,586. The true death toll is higher, with estimates up to 3 times higher globally”, wrote the expert, adding that these are data “devastating”. The pandemic no longer constitutes an international public health threat but is “still a global threat”, she said.
