Estimates of children affected by orphanhood and caregiver loss and COVID-19 reported deaths are for all countries that had reported COVID-19 data up to Oct 31, 2021, according to data from Johns Hopkins University of Medicine Coronavirus Resource Center. All estimates are based on newly available excess death and COVID-19 death reports, updating our previous study.2 The shading shows 95% credible interval for our estimation. The dashed vertical line shows the division between the first 14-month and second 6-month periods of our studies.
