Chile is the latest country to be exposed.
Its president Sebastian Pinera on Saturday replaced Health Minister Jaime Manalich (right) amid controversy over the country’s official coronavirus death toll. The latter had faced mounting criticism over the way the health ministry had tallied Covid-19 fatalities.
The government said publicly that the pandemic has claimed more than 3,000 lives since the first case emerged on March 03.
However, a report published Saturday by an investigative journalism organization called CIPER revealed that Chile had informed the World Health Organization that the death toll was actually more than 5,000.
Pinera’s successor Oscar Enrique Paris (left) promptly announced Sunday that the country's official death toll will add "the probable deaths" from the coronavirus to the epidemiological report that is published twice a week.
I still don't get it!
According to the Worldometers website, the fatalities' numbers are still at 3,000+:
