Covid-19 has marked a high increase in mortality in the country for the 9-month period of 2021.
According to Eurostat data, which also reports data for Albania on a weekly basis, fatalities for the 37 weeks of 2021 (until September) increased by a total of 33.4% compared to the same period of 2019, when the country was in a normal period, reaching 21.1 thousand lives lost in total.
But unlike 2020, when additional mortality was much higher among men than women, in the second year of the pandemic, Covid-19 did not spare women either.
According to INSTAT data, processed by “Monitor”, for the 9 months 2021, female fatalities increased by about 28%, reaching almost 9,400.
However, men continue to be more affected by the pandemic. For the same period, the fatalities of this gender increased by 38.5%, reaching about 11.7 thousand loss of life.
For the 9-month period 2021, male deaths accounted for 55.5% of the total, from 53.5% that was this weight in the same period of the normal year 2019.
In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, male deaths reached up to 60% of the total./Monitor/
