Researchers are struggling to explain why Quebec had the country's highest official COVID-19 death toll, but a relatively low number of excess deaths. A study听鈥 titled听Excess mortality, COVID-19 and health-care systems in Canada 鈥 looked at excess deaths, which refers to when observed deaths exceed expectations based on previous years' data, between March 2020 and October 2021. Quebec only had听4,033 excess deaths in that period, despite reporting听11,470 COVID-19 fatalities 鈥 almost three times more.听It's the biggest gap recorded in Canada during the pandemic.
