Lancet 2022; 399: 1513–36—In this Article, Tanzania and Uganda should have been listed under eastern sub-Saharan Africa in the table.

The uncertainty intervals for The Economist estimate of excess deaths in the Research in Context panel and Discussion section have been updated to 18·0 million (95% uncertainty interval 12·9–21·0). These corrections have been made to the online version as of April 14, 2022, and the printed version is correct.
