Mexico passed the 1,00,000 mark in COVID-19 deaths, becoming the fourth country to do so amid concerns about the lingering physical and psychological scars on survivors. Joss Luis Alomta Zegarra, Mexico’s director of epidemiology, announced late Thursday that Mexico had 1,00,104 confirmed COVID-19 deaths, behind the United States, Brazil and India.The milestone comes less than a week after Mexico topped 1 million registered coronavirus cases, though officials agree the number is probably much higher because of low levels of testing.
