The United Kingdom has recorded over 100,000 deaths resulting from the covid-19.
According to data from the Office for National Statistics there had been almost 104,000 deaths with covid-19 mentioned on the death certificate as of 15 January.
According to the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, the true number will be higher due to the delay in reporting and publishing the numbers. “It’s hard to compute the sorrow contained in that grim statistic,” the Prime Minister said during a televised briefing recently.
Also, a spokesperson of the National Health Service Provider (NHS), Chris Hopson, said, “Behind each death will be a story of sorrow and grief. As well as the high death rate, it’s particularly concerning that this virus has widened health inequalities and affected Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities disproportionately.”
As at the time of writing the report, there are 101,057,658 confirmed cases globally with recorded death of 2,174,069, and recovery of 73,035,005. Active cases stood at 25,845,548.
