Worldwide, 9,40,815 cases of the virus have been reported and 47,836 people have died.

On the other hand, the head of Europe of the World Health Organization has said that statistics show that more than 95 percent of people who lost their lives to the coronavirus in the region were over 60 years of age. But Dr. Hans Kluge said that age alone is not the only risk in the disease.

“This assumption is factually incorrect that COVID-19 only affects older people,” said Kluge. In an online press conference in Copenhagen on Thursday (April 2), Kluge said, “Young people are not undefeated.” The United Nations Health Organization states that people under the age of 50 have moderate or severe infections.
