What is the average age of death linked to COVID-19 in Hong Kong?
Dear Department of Health,
According to Worldometers, Hong Kong has had 210 total deaths linked to COVID-19. Could you please advise whether or not this number is accurate. If not, please advise the actual cumulative number of deaths linked to COVID-19.
Also, could you please advise the average age of those deaths, and the age distribution is for those deaths.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Lonsdale

confirmed cases (e.g. hospitalized/ discharged home/ deceased) provided by
the Hospital Authority is accessible at the COVID-19 website at
