More than 160,000 coronavirus deaths recorded in Europe: AFP tally
PARIS, May 13, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The coronavirus pandemic has now killed
more than 160,000 people in Europe, according to an AFP tally at 1300 GMT
Wednesday.
Nearly three quarters of the 160,455 victims died in the four worst-hit
European countries: Britain, Italy, Spain and France. So far, 1,798,209 cases
have been recorded across Europe.
The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and
information from the World Health Organization (WHO), probably reflect only a
fraction of the actual number of infections.
