Italy has recorded some 178 000 excess deaths, mostly attributable to COVID-19, during the coronavirus pandemic, the National Statistics Office (ISTAT) and National Health Institute (ISS) said in a report on Wednesday.

“As the vaccination campaign progressed, mortality decreased significantly from week 20 onwards last year,” it said. People who died in nursing homes or in their own homes in early 2020 were not being tested for COVID, so the coronavirus could be directly responsible for more of the excess deaths.In 2020, the total number of deaths from all causes was the highest recorded in Italy since World War Two – 746 146, over 100 000 more than the 2015-2019 average.
