SINGAPORE, Sept 19 — Singapore reported 2,490 “excess deaths” during the Covid-19 pandemic, with three-fifths directly attributed to the disease while the rest were due to illnesses that were aggravated by the coronavirus.
MOH said in a press release that with the Covid-19 situation stabilising, it has consolidated the data to review the full impact the pandemic had on Singapore. For instance, over the course of the pandemic, the age-standardised death rate in Singapore residents rose from 525.0 in 2019 to 549.9 per 100,000 person-years. The age-standardised death rate is defined as the number of deaths in a given age group.
The ministry added that among Covid-19 deaths, there was an over-representation of people who had not been fully vaccinated. They made up 28 per cent of Covid-19 deaths occurring in the first half of this year, even though only about 5 per cent of the eligible population had not been fully vaccinated as of mid-March.
