In the first year of the coronavirus pandemic, the number of deaths in Germany increased significantly. In total, nearly 986,000 deaths were recorded across the country in a year, the federal statistics office said.
This is 46,000, or 5 percent more than in 2019. “Part of this increase can be attributed to calendar and demographic aspects,” the experts explained.
“2020 was a leap year. The extra day in February resulted in an increase of about 3,000 deaths from the previous year. “
If we take into account the emerging trend towards an increase in life expectancy and predictable changes in the age structure of the population, one would expect an increase in mortality by about one to two percent.
