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 457.
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 (29th September – 5th October) on the Isle of Wight totals 206 – a rate per 100,000 population of 146.
36 of those are thought to be reinfections (ie. people who have had Covid before and caught it again). Last week this was 26.
The cumulative total since the pandemic began now stands at 44,317 – a rate per 100,000 population of 31,430.
