About this data
Cause of death refers to the share of all deaths for all ages by underlying causes. Other COVID-19 pandemic-related outcomes capture all deaths due to the pandemic which were not specifically caused by COVID-19 or the indirect COVID causes. These are estimated by subtracting COVID-19 specific deaths and deaths attributed to indirect COVID-19 causes from total excess mortality.
