How Kenya under-reported 20,000 Covid deaths last year.
Kenya under-reported Covid-19 deaths by more than 20,000, according to data from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
This was excess deaths by 5.6 times of the confirmed Covid-19 deaths. On the other hand, in 2021 Kenya had a huge number of excess deaths, at 45 per 100,000, which translates to 24,471 more deaths in the country during the second year of the pandemic compared to the years before the pandemic.
