More than one million people have died from Covid-19. UN Secretary General António Guterres has called that number “mind-numbing”, and has stressed the need for all nations to work together against the virus.
“Responsible leadership matters, science matters, cooperation matters and misinformation kills,” he said in a statement.
“As we remember so many lives lost, let us never forget that our future rests on solidarity — as people united and as united nations.”
