“We found that the data of people who had died at home due to the coronavirus infection had not been included in the ministry’s records. They, however, were included in the Covid-19 Crisis Management Center’s system,” Dr Jageshwor Gautam, the ministry’s spokesperson, had told the Post on Wednesday. “We formed a committee to study the differences in the data and have made adjustments as per its suggestions.”

Those people died before November at their homes and their bodies were managed by the Army, according to Gautam.
