Malaria To Gulp More Lives Than COVID-19 In Sub-Saharan Africa: WHO

The World Health Organization, in its global malaria report, has warned that death tolls due to malaria will outcount those caused by the coronavirus in the sub-Saharan Africa this year. The WHO's malaria programme director Pedro Alsonso said the death figures could be between 20,000-100,000 with mostly being young children. The report also pointed to the last year's malaria-caused global death toll of 409,000, implying a child death every two minutes.
