Abstract: a sample consisting of 119 countries all around the world. The study uses three representations of corruption variables; utilizes a dataset from International Country Risk Guide ICRG. These representations are the country’s inherent corruption, the country’s ongoing corruption, and the country’s corruption and expenditure effects during Covid. The main finding is that corruption positively contributes to a higher Covid-19 fatality rate through inherent corruption, ongoing corrupt activities, and the collective role of corruption and government spending in Covid-19 mortality. Thus, countries pay the cost of their own corruption financially and physically.
