The global mortality rate of COVID-19 is 1 percent.

Globally the mortality rate of Covid-19 varies from time to time and it's hard to pinpoint the fatality rate.

Globally the mortality rate of Covid-19 varies from time to time and it's hard to pinpoint the fatality rate. Several researchers give different fatality rates depending on their research. Timothy Russell, an epidemiologist at Imperial College London stated that it is difficult to pinpoint the fatality rate for COVID-19. International Health Organisation reports that some countries do not give the correct number of deaths due to Covid-19. In the early stage of the pandemic, it was overestimated and later analysis showed it was underestimated.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19 including symptoms, prevention and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organisation or your national healthcare authority.
