The US-based Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation has presented the real extent of deaths from the coronavirus in Ukraine
The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine notes that 4 weeks ago the mortality rate from the coronavirus infection was at least 2.7%. At the same time, there was a clear peak value of this indicator in the first decade of April.
“The findings significantly clarify the number of coronavirus-related excess deaths, which, as shown in previous reports, exceeded the number of published deaths in the daily statistics from the Ministry of Health by about three times in 2020”, – says the NAS.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation agrees with this estimate. According to the US organisation, the number of coronavirus victims in Ukraine is not the official 46,700, but 138,500, i.e. almost three times as many.
