Mexico and the United States account for nearly one-third of all fitness care personnel who have died from COVID-19, according to a new Amnesty International report.
Mexico alone recorded 1,320 deaths of fitness personnel during the pandemic, or about one-fifth of the global total. Deaths in the United States among frontline personnel reached 1,077.
The two North American countries were followed across the UK with 649 deaths of fitness workers, Brazil with 634 and Russia with 631, according to Amnesty’s report.
“For more than seven thousand people, dying to save others is a crisis of astonishing magnitude. Every fitness employee has the right to be at work, and it is a scandal that so many others are paying the maximum price,” Steve Cockburn, Amnesty International’s head of economic and social justice, said in a statement.
The figures in the report coincide more or less with countries with the maximum deaths per COVID-19.
Mexico tops the list of deaths of fitness employees, but is the fourth largest in the world for the total number of coronavirus deaths. The country’s contagion figures have been tarnished by one of the lowest control rates in the world, and its total number of deaths. – the fourth overall with 65,816 – has been questioned both at home and abroad.
According to Amnesty’s report, the Mexican fitness government said 97,632 fitness tested positive for COVID-19 last week.
The report mainly notes that cleaning hospitals is vulnerable to infection, but welcomes the Mexican government’s record keeping of fitness employee infections.
However, the figures show a still damaging scenario in Mexico: a report published in July through the local El Economista showed that 46,013 fitness professionals had tested positive as of June 28, meaning that fitness contagion has doubled in the last two months. even though President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has continually insisted on the disappearance of the pandemic in the country.
Amnesty’s report also revealed a relatively high number of deaths of fitness personnel in Russia, the country ranks 12th in total coronavirus deaths worldwide. He also highlighted considerations for the accumulation of deaths in countries such as South Africa (240 deaths of fitness personnel). India, where the number of contagions is increasing.
“Several months after the onset of the pandemic, fitness personnel continue to die at an appalling rate in countries like Mexico, Brazil and the United States, while the immediate spread of infections in South Africa and India shows that all states will have to act, Cockburn said.
