WASHINGTON, 17 June. - (ANA) - Covid-19 has claimed more than 600,000 lives in the U.S., our data shows, even as the country has made big gains in its fight against the pandemic.

 

As many Americans celebrate the beginning of summer and states have relaxed restrictions, the virus is still killing hundreds of people daily, nearly all of them unvaccinated, experts say.

 

Though the sheer number of deaths in the United States is higher than anywhere else, the country’s toll is lower, on a per capita basis, than in many European and Latin American countries, including Peru, Brazil, Belgium and Italy.   - (ANA) -
