More than 3,000 people working in the health sector would have died, the Covid-19 through 79 countries of the world, is it clear Monday in an Amnesty International report. This figure is likely to be widely under-estimated, according to the organization. Governments must be held responsible for the deaths of the nursing staff that they were not protected against the sars coronavirus, she said. It also denounces the many barriers that health professionals faced during the crisis of the sars coronavirus.

The nursing staff has faced a lack of protective equipment. On 63 countries, less than a quarter of the unions interviewed stated that they have appropriate equipment for their members. Some professionals say they have bought their own personal protective equipment. Others have had to improvise using garbage bags and raincoats.
