Covid-19 death tolls are likely a 'significant undercount', says WHO

Hindustan Times  

Official tolls showing the number of deaths directly or indirectly attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic are likely to be a "significant undercount", the World Health Organization said on Friday, saying 6-8 million people may have died so far. The UN agency officially estimates that around 3.4 million people have died directly as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic by May 2021. Presenting its annual World Health Statistics report, the WHO estimated that total deaths from the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 were at least 3 million last year or 1.2 million more than officially reported. The U.N. agency officially estimates that around 3.4 million people have died directly as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic by May 2021.
