Introduction: the novel coronavirus 2019 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Coronaviridae-Nidovirales order. Since the emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in December 2019, the disease has nimbly transformed in a pandemic, intimidating societies worldwide. Objective: to determine COVID-19 worldwide lethality as of July 15 2021. Methodology: an experimental research design was used. Data was obtained from the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 webpage. Results: among the countries with the highest COVID-19 death rate as of July 15 2021 were: Peru (9.34), Mexico (9.0), Hungary (3.71), Romanía (3.17) and Italy (2.99) and the countries with the lowest lethality rate were: the Netherlands (1.01), Irak (1.21), Jordan (1.3), India (1.33) and Sweden (1.34). Conclusion: viral infection diagnosis will preexist recovery or death within days to weeks, therefore, the number of deaths must be cross-checked with previous case counts, which explains this delay which increases the estimation of the lethality rate.
