Excess mortality during COVID-19: Deaths from all causes compared to previous years, by age

Shown is how the number of weekly or monthly deaths in 2020–2021 — broken down by broad age groups — differs as a percentage from the average number of
deaths in the same period over the years 2015–2019. This metric is called the P-score. The reported number of deaths might not count all deaths that occurred due to
incomplete coverage and delays in death reporting.

Note: Comparisons across countries are affected by differences in the completeness of death reporting. Details can be found at our Excess Mortality page.
