A total of 205,638 pensioners left the state rolls from January through April in 2020, ministry data showed.“We have to take into account how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the death rate of the overall population and, most of all, the elders,” the ministry said in a statement.

Officials have said that more than 80% of the victims of the disease are people aged 70 and older.
