There is a difference of almost 20,000 deaths between the Spanish Ministry of Health’s official figures and those recorded by other official sources in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, according to a study by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), this discrepancy was hardly reported in the media, which consistently used the Ministry of Health’s figures.
