Journalists are reporting on and writing about the people behind the statistics — their personalities, passions and quirks — to tell the story of every life lost. Our reporters are investigating the conditions that led to their deaths, asking if so many frontline workers had to die?

Explore the new interactive tool tracking those health worker deaths.
