UPDATE: At least 611 deaths due to lockdown as of 22nd May. Even more (667) if we count the unclassified/unclear cases where there are strong suggestions of the death being linked to the lockdown (1/n)

109 farmer suicides have come to our notice from Marathwada, and 145 TB deaths from Agra which have significantly increased during the lockdown. While they have not been added to the database, we are trying to verify the connections. (2/n)

We have updated the database with some new columns to avoid possible confusion and doubts. Please do check more details about our methodology in the updated FAQs: https://thejeshgn.com/projects/covid19-india/non-virus-deaths/#FAQ (3/n)

Also, thanks to the patient auditing efforts by @rachelchitra, we are more confident that we have a cleaner database of lockdown related deaths.
