Learn how excess mortality is measured and tracked across countries during the COVID-19 crisis. See the latest data on the percentage difference between reported and projected deaths, and the impact of age and policy responses.
Compare deaths from all causes to average or projection based on previous years in different countries and regions. See charts, data sources, and related research on excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The global all-age rate of excess mortality due to the COVID-19 pandemic was 120·3 deaths (113·1–129·3) per 100 000 of the population, and excess mortality rate exceeded 300 deaths per 100 000 of the population in 21 countries.

5 de mai. de 2022 · The World Health Organization (WHO) has released new data showing that the global death toll associated with the COVID-19 pandemic was approximately 14.9 million (range 13.3 million to 16.6 million) between January 2020 and December 2021. The estimates include deaths directly and indirectly linked to the pandemic, and are based on a robust methodology and global collaboration.
20 de mai. de 2021 · WHO uses a negative binomial regression model to calculate the difference between observed and expected deaths in 2020, accounting for both direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19. The global excess mortality is at least 3 million, more than three times the reported COVID-19 deaths, with regional variations and data gaps.
