More than 35,000 people have now lost their lives in Mexico to Covid-19. The Latin American country now has more deaths than Italy – one of the first countries to raise global alarm over the virus.
But President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Sunday that the pandemic was “losing intensity” in the country and put the blame on “conservative media” for causing alarm.
The country recorded 276 deaths on Sunday and 4,482 new infections bringing total cases to almost 300,000.
The US still counts the most number of Covid-linked deaths globally. Brazil and the UK have the next highest tolls
