MEXICO CITY, Sept. 9 (Reuters) – The death toll from coronavirus in Latin America topped 300,000 on Wednesday, according to a Reuters tally, and the virus shows no signs of a decline in the world’s worst-hit region.
Latin America took the last dark step after Brazil, which has the number of deaths in the region, reported another 1,075 deaths to bring its overall coronavirus to 128,539 deaths.
Latin American countries, which have recorded nearly 8 million cases of COVID-19, are also struggling to alleviate a deep economic downturn due to participation measures in place to involve the virus.
Mexico, Peru and Colombia recorded the highest number of coronavirus patients after Brazil, and Latin America reported a daily average of 2,811 deaths in the last seven days through Tuesday.
The death toll in North America reaches 200,000, with nearly 190,000 deaths in the United States, the world’s hardest-hit country. The number of coronavirus victims in Europe is around 211,000, according to Reuters count.
The last 100,000 deaths occurred in 39 days, according to Reuters’ tally of figures released by governments (reported via Daniela Desantis; written via Drazen Jorgic; edited via Richard Chang).
