Representative of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: More than 500,000 COVID-19 deaths in the United States

February 22nd local time, the WHO held a regular COVID-19 press conference, and many American experts attended it remotely.

“There were only 14 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. a year ago, compared to more than 500,000 deaths today,” said Nancy Messonnier, director of the Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases of the Centers of the United States at the United States.

Even as the number of new confirmed cases and deaths in the U.S. and many parts of the world begins to decline, it is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over and there is still a long way to go.
