COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country

This article contains the reported case fatality rate (the number of dead among the number of diagnosed cases only), as well as death rates per 100,000 population by country from the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as aggregated by the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.^[1]

As of 27 April 2021, Yemen has reported the highest case fatality rate (CFR) at 19.49%, while Singapore has reported the lowest at 0.05%.^[1] Note that variation between testing programmes worldwide results in different case ascertainment rates per country, which causes CFRs to vary accordingly.^[2] Other causes of variation in CFRs include variations in age and overall health of the population, medical care, and classification of deaths.^[3]

This table is for entire populations, and does not reflect the differences in rates relative to different age groups. For example, in the United States as of 27 April 2021, the reported case fatality ratios are 0.015%, 0.15%, 2.3%, and 17% for the age groups 0–17, 18–49, 50–74, and 75 or over, respectively.^[4]
