At least 6,000 health workers have died from the novel coronavirus worldwide. The international human rights organization Amnesty International recently published a report on this.
Steve Cockburn, the agency's head of economic and social justice, said: "Everyone has the right to protection in the workplace. It is a shame that so many deaths of health workers.
He said health workers were still dying after so many months of the epidemic. In countries like Mexico, Brazil and the United States, the death toll is alarming. The way the virus is spreading rapidly in South Africa and India, big steps should be taken now to prevent it.
According to Amnesty, the highest number of health workers in Corona has died in the United States. One thousand six people have died in the country. 749 in the United Kingdom, 634 in Brazil, 631 in Russia and 573 in India.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says the death toll among health workers may seem low, but many countries have not officially saved it.
The Corona epidemic spread around the world from Wuhan, China in December. So far, more than 26.4 million people around the world have been infected with the virus, of which the number of deaths has exceeded 8 lakh 63 thousand. However, more than one crore and six thousand corona patients have recovered.
Meanwhile, India is once again at the top in daily deaths and infections. A total of 74,000 people were found dead in the country on Thursday. One thousand 63 people died. In all, 6,500 people died in Corona in India.
In the United States and Brazil, more than 44,000 people were infected daily. But on the fourth day, the United States saw thousands die. In Brazil, on the other hand, the 24-hour death toll is much lower, at 630. In Mexico, 565 people lost their lives in Covid-19.
