WHO says that the numbers are also far higher because of deaths that were missed in countries without adequate reporting. Even pre-pandemic, around six in 10 deaths around the world were not registered. “These sobering data not only point to the impact of the pandemic but also to the need for all countries to invest in more resilient health systems that can sustain essential health services during crises," said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Death toll in India Breaking down the data, the UN health agency has said that almost half of the deaths that until now had not been counted were in India.

The report suggests that 47 lakh people died in the country as a result of the pandemic, mainly during a huge surge in May and June 2021.

The central government, however, puts its death toll for the January 2020-December 2021 period far lower – about 4,80,000. According to the Union health ministry data, in 2020, when Covid-19 was first reported in the country, 1.48 lakh people lost their lives due to the pandemic, which is substantially lower than in 2021, when 3.32 lakh people died due to the disease.
