At that date, the cumulative number of deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate on the Isle of Wight since the start of the pandemic was 450.
Confirmed positive cases
As free testing and the obligation to report a positive test has been abolished, the figures are likely to be higher than official sources state.
The latest confirmed data for the number of new positive Coronavirus (Covid-19) tests over seven days (17th August – 23rd August) on the Isle of Wight totals 44 – a rate per 100,000 population of 31.
6 of those are thought to be reinfections (ie. people who have had Covid before and caught it again). Last week this was 17.
The cumulative total since the pandemic began now stands at 43,660 – a rate per 100,000 population of 30,965.
