The Covid-19 pandemic has confronted the population of most regions of the planet with an unprecedented situation, often a source of anxiety. It has also claimed many victims: more than 5.45 million deaths worldwide since the end of December 2019, according to a report established by AFP. But for the World Health Organization, this assessment of the pandemic might be two to three times higher than that officially recorded.
