Dear Mr. TONG,
Thank you for your e-mail.

The figures we sent to you on 3.8.2022 refer to known deaths, whereas
those figures in table 1.4 of the Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics
refer to registered deaths.  There is subtle difference in the coverage
between known deaths and registered deaths.  The former counts the deaths
occurred in the reference months, while the latter counts the deaths
registered in the reference months (not necessarily occurred in the
reference month concerned).  
Should you have other enquiries on population and demographic statistics,
please feel free to contact us.

Best Regards,

Thank you for your engagement and quick response. However, I note that the
number of known deaths you have provided for the first 5 months of 2022 is
significantly different compared with your recent monthly digest of

help to clarify the differences?
