Of those, only 71% were officially attributed to Covid-19 – leaving some 11,260 deaths unaccounted for.
Some of these “unexplained” deaths may be a direct result of the coronavirus while others may be due to limited access to healthcare during the pandemic.
The figures are based on weekly monitoring of deaths from all causes. We can compare this with the average number of deaths seen during comparable weeks over the last five years.
