These figures are reported directy from the NHS and are updated at 2pm each day and include confirmed cases reported at 5pm the previous day.
Confirmation of COVID-19 diagnosis, death notification and reporting in central figures can take up to several days and the hospitals providing the data are under significant operational pressure.
This means that the totals reported at 5pm on each day may not include all deaths that occurred on that day or on recent prior days.
These figures also do not include deaths outside hospital, such as those in care homes. This approach makes it possible to compile deaths data on a daily basis using up to date figures.
