But the loss is still immense, with about 1 million people deaths recorded over the past four months.
About 1 in every 1,300 people globally has died of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, and experts have said official death tolls are likely an undercount.
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tweeted on Sunday that it’s “too early to declare victory” over COVID-19.
“Many countries are facing high rates of hospitalization & death. With high transmission, the threat of a new, more dangerous variant remains real. We urge all people to exercise caution and all governments to stay the course,” he said.
The United States has reported more COVID deaths than any other country — about 960,000 total — but the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the true death toll for the country is about 32% higher.
Along with the US, Brazil, Russia and Mexico have reported the most COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic.
