2. Excess Mortality
Excess mortality is a measure that collects the total
impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) than
the confirmed death counts alone, excess mortality
consists of the confirmed deaths and COVID-19 deaths
that were not correctly reported or diagnosed,
throughout the upcoming visualizations, excess
mortality is measured using the p-score.

4. Qatar's strict social measures during the early stages of
the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, including travel
restrictions, border closures, the switch to remote
learning for schools and universities, and restrictions on
being outdoors during certain hours, significantly
reduced the rate of COVID-19 cases in a total
population of about 2.8 million, resulting in only 245
deaths and a p-score of 0% for excess mortality in 2020.
Furthermore, the implementation of up to 20,000 daily
COVID-19 swab tests, supported by the Kashif mobile
application for demographic data collection, enhanced
the tracking and treatment of positive cases, leading to
low death rates maintained in Qatar throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic.
