Excess mortality: Deaths from all causes compared to average over previous years, by age

The percentage difference between the reported number of weekly or monthly deaths in 2020–2023 — broken down by age group — and the average number of deaths inthe same period over the years 2015–2019. The reported number might not count all deaths that occurred due to incomplete coverage and delays in reporting.
