This article contains the reported case fatality rate (the number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths among the number of SARS-CoV-2-diagnosed cases), as well as per capita death rates, by country.
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]
This data 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.[2]
Data reliability[edit]
Variation between testing programmes worldwide results in different ascertainment rates per country: not every SARS-CoV-2 infection, nor every COVID-19-related death, will be identified. Therefore the true numbers of infections and deaths will exceed the observed (confirmed) numbers everywhere, though the extent will vary by country.[3] As deaths are easier to identify than infections (which are regularly asymptomatic), the true CFR is likely lower than the observed CFR.
Causes of variation in true CFRs between countries, include variations in age and overall health of the population, medical care, and classification of deaths.[4]
Russia's death rate due to COVID-19 is likely far higher than is visible from confirmed COVID-19 deaths: in December 2020, based on overall excess mortality during the year, total COVID-19 deaths were estimated to be over 186,000.[5] This would result in a mortality rate of 127.29 deaths per 100,000, while the official death rate was 37.81 per 100,000.
