MEXICO CITY, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Mexico reported 21,366 new confirmed coronavirus cases and 1,106 more fatalities on Friday, according to the Health Ministry, bringing its total to 1,609,735 infections and 139,022 deaths.
The real number of infected people and deaths is likely significantly higher than the official count, the ministry has said, because of a lack of widespread testing. (Reporting by Anthony Esposito; Editing by Leslie Adler)
