05 全球新冠死亡者超500万，专家称该数字被低估

The number of confirmed Covid-19 deaths worldwide has topped 5m, although experts say that number is likely to be a significant underestimate of the pandemic’s true death toll.

全球已确认的新冠肺炎死亡人数已超过500万，尽管专家们表示，这一数字可能大大低估了这场大流行的真实死亡人数。

At least 5,001,871 individuals have died with coronavirus since records began, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University seen on Monday. The total of confirmed cases is almost 247m.

周一，由约翰霍普金斯大学汇编的数据显示，自开始记录以来，至少已有5,001,871人死于新冠病毒。确诊病例总数接近2.47亿。

Globally, the US leads the tally of confirmed deaths, with almost 750,000 casualties, according to JHU data. Brazil is second, with just over 600,000. In the European region, Russia accounts for about 234,000 deaths, while the UK and Italy count 141,000 and 132,000, respectively.

数据显示，在全球范围，美国的确认死亡人数最高，已有近75万人死亡。巴西位居第二，略微超过60万人。在欧洲地区，俄罗斯的死亡人数约为23.4万，而英国和意大利的死亡人数分别为14.1万和13.2万。

The World Health Organization has previously said it considers the actual death toll to be at least 60 per cent higher than the figures reported officially, with case numbers also higher than official estimates.

世界卫生组织此前表示，它认为实际死亡人数比官方报告的数字至少高出60%，病例数也高于官方估计。
