In the chaos, COVID casualties might otherwise get overlooked. Many hospitals have been overwhelmed and workers sometimes have lacked protective equipment or suffer from underlying health conditions that make them vulnerable to the highly infectious virus. Our team contacts family members, employers and medical examiners to independently confirm each death. We have published profiles for 164 workers whose deaths have been confirmed by our reporters. “Lost on the Frontline,” a collaboration between KHN and The Guardian, has identified 922 such workers who likely died of COVID-19 after helping patients during the pandemic.

In some states, medical personnel account for as many as 20% of known coronavirus cases. 10, 2020, all updates to Lost on the Frontline are available at /lost-on-the-frontline.Īmerica’s health care workers are dying.
