LIMA, June 1 ― Peru yesterday almost tripled its official Covid-19 death toll to 180,764, following a government review, making it the country with the worst death rate per capita, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
The government said it will now update its death count, which stood at 69,342 as of Sunday, in part because of a lack of testing that made it difficult to confirm whether a person had died due to the virus or some other cause., Hungary had the worst number of per capita Covid-19 deaths at about 300 per 100,000 people. With its updated death toll, Peru now stands at more than 500 Covid-19 deaths per 100,000 people.
In Latin America, Brazil has the highest total death toll with more than 450,000 lives lost due to the pandemic. Based on population, however, Peru's per capita death toll now more than doubles that of Brazil, according to the data.
