On Tuesday, Lithuania’s Health Ministry said it found 804 previously unaccounted coronavirus-related deaths. "It was established that 324 deaths [of Covid-19] and 480 deaths of coronavirus-infected persons from other causes were not accounted for," the ministry said in a statement. The discrepancy in numbers arose after comparing the October–December statistics at the National Public Health Centre, which was previously tasked with keeping track of the pandemic, with the data at the Lithuanian Centre of Registers. The country’s Statistics Office, which publishes the daily Covid-19 reports, hasn’t yet updated the coronavirus death toll. Due to a spiking number of infections, the information on Covid-19 deaths in the country could have been delayed due to an increased workload at the hospitals, according to Justina Petravičienė from the NVSC.
