  • *Crude death rate in the country of origin as estimated by the United Nations World Population Prospects for the year 2021,24 but adjusted for the age structure of each nationality group in the national cohort of those ever tested for SARS-CoV-2 in Qatar.

  • †The United Nations World Population Prospects24 provides an estimate for only the total population of Qatar and does not provide an estimate for only Qataris. The estimate for the overall population is not representative of that of Qataris as Qataris comprise only 11% of the population of Qatar.1 2 8 9
