The Office for National Statistics reveals that in week 44 there was one new death where Coronavirus (Covid-19) was registered as the cause of death.
Week 44 data covers deaths that occurred up to 31st October 2020, but were registered up to 7th November 2020. This means the cumulative total remains at 90.
News OnTheWight reported last week that according to Public Health England, two deaths had taken place on 31st October where Covid-19 was stated on the death certificate. It’s not clear why only one shows in the ONS data for week 44 – but possible it was not registered in time and will appear in data for week 45.
Deaths: Where C19 named on death certificate
The figure of 90 cumulative deaths was made up of 41 deaths in hospital, three deaths at home, one at the hospice and 45 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 76.
Hospital admissions
Between 22nd to 29th October five people were admitted to, or diagnosed with Covid-19 in St Mary’s Hospital, although in that period only two required mechanical ventilation.
These figures will be updated on Thursday 12th November.
