Deaths due to Covid
The Office for National Statistics reveals that in week 49 there were three deaths in hospital where Coronavirus (Covid-19) was registered as the cause of death.

Deaths: Where C19 named on death certificate
The figure of 103 cumulative deaths was made up of 52 deaths in hospital, three deaths at home, one at the hospice and 47 deaths in care homes.
This figure is for the entire period, not just where positive test was in the last 28 days.
The total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic of people who had a positive test result for Covid-19 and died within 28 days of the first positive test is 87.
Our thoughts are with NHS and care staff who have worked so hard to help save lives.
