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,

Dear Census and Statistics Department,

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
statistics as the table below, especially from March to May, could you
help to clarify the differences?

The figure for Deaths from the Monthly Digest of Statistics published in
July 2022

Jan                                  4413

Feb                                  4462

March                             9511

April                                 6936

May                                  6503

Total                                31825

The figure for Deaths from your email dated 3 Aug 2022                

Jan                                  4736                                
                                           

Feb                                  6092

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
