09 JUN 2021- ☣️ "The official Ecuador figures of the pandemic are getting worse. Last week the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC) published a study on the deaths registered in 2020, which shows a clearer picture of the impact of the pandemic in the country.

😷 According to that analysis, there were 41,077 more deaths than in 2019, an unprecedented annual increase, and the main cause was COVID-19, which caused 23,793 deaths, among confirmed and suspected cases. This figure does not agree with that of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP), which accounted for around 14,450 deaths from COVID-19 last year, in the same way, between confirmed and suspected.

The INEC data even exceeds all the deaths from COVID-19 registered by the Ministry throughout the pandemic, because according to this Ministry until yesterday there were only 20,831 deaths. The figures of both institutions do not coincide due to the difference in the methodologies used in their analyzes. The director of Sociodemographic Statistics of the INEC, Soledad Carrera, affirmed that her study is broader. She explained that the MSP figures are collected mainly from hospital discharges, while the INEC included deaths in homes and other places. "Not necessarily, they (the MSP technicians) have access to information, for example, on deaths that occurred at home, which were certified by treating physicians or Legal Medicine.

That is why it is the difference," pointed out Carrera.
In addition, the figure was raised in the INEC study because the deaths that were initially registered with other diseases, such as pneumonia, were corrected, since the doctors did not have the results of the PCR tests at that time. Cases that tested positive were reclassified as COVID-19 deaths, Carrera explained.

The INEC figures also reveal which groups were the most affected by the coronavirus. Of the 23,793 deaths from this disease, 83% were people residing in urban areas; 66% were men; 28% were between 65 and 74 years old and 22% between 75 and 84 years old. Almost half of the deaths, 48%, occurred in MSP hospitals; and 31%, in those of the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS).

Meanwhile, 11% of deaths from COVID-19 (2,587) occurred at homes. Most of these occurred at the most critical moments of the emergency , with the collapse of the hospitals: 716 in April, when the pandemic hit Guayas and Santa Elena; and 432 in July, when it hit the center and north of the country." - https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/ecuador/23793-murieron-por-covid-19-en-2020-segun-el-inec-nota/
