Amid the rising number of Covid-19 deaths, the ICMR is set to start mortality surveillance across India to assess whether Covid-19 is killing people outside hospitals who may be undetected and untested. The surveillance exercise will continue through the pandemic period and will study the weekly death data compiled by Health and Demographic Surveillance System and death statistics of the Registrar General of India.
