1,500 nurses die due to COVID-19, same as nurse death toll during WWI: ICN
At least 1,500 nurses have died from coronavirus, the same as the number of nurses who died during World War I, the International Council of Nurses said. The figure includes nurses from 44 countries and is known to be an underestimate of true death toll, ICN said. Its own analysis suggests about 10% of cases globally are among healthcare workers.
