By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On Monday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that it recommended that China monitor the excess mortality from COVID-19, Reuters report.

WHO says that this could provide a complete picture of the impact of the COVID-19 situation in the country.

Since China abandoned its zero-covid policy in December, it has recorded 60,000 COVID-19 deaths.

“WHO recommends the monitoring of excess mortality, which provides us with a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of COVID-19,” WHO told Reuters.

“This is especially important during periods of surges when the health system is severely constrained,” it added.

WHO officials have met with Chinese scientists and said that they were provided with information on hospital deaths and outpatient care that allowed for a better understanding of the situation.
