China has revised its official death toll from coronavirus, raising the number of fatalities attributed to the pandemic by more than a third.

Wuhan, where the virus was first reported late last year, on today as added 1,290 coronavirus deaths to the city’s toll.

The total number of cases recorded in the city is now 50,333, with 3,869 deaths.


They previously reported death toll for Wuhan was 2,579 — so the revised figure marks a 50% increase in the number of deaths in the city from coronavirus.

The authorities said the revision was made in order to include patients who were not treated at hospitals and passed away at home, since medical facilities faced a shortage of resources during the early stage of the outbreak.

At the peak of the epidemic in early 2020, hospitals were overloaded, with medics preoccupied with saving patients’ lives, leading to delays and oversight in reporting the cases, the authorities said.

Some facilities also failed to connect with the wider epidemic network immediately, while information related to fatalities was incomplete and led to misreporting or repeated counts.
