About this data
Number of deaths ages 15-59 due to other COVID-19 pandemic-related outcomes divided by number of all deaths ages 15-59, expressed by percentage. Other COVID-19 pandemic-related outcomes capture all deaths due to the pandemic which were not specifically caused by COVID-19 or indirect COVID-19 causes. These are estimated by subtracting COVID-19-specific deaths and deaths attributed to indirect COVID-19 causes from total excess mortality.
