Please provide me with the number of deaths that have resulted with the direct cause being Covid-19 recorded.
We said
Thank you for your request.
The number of deaths due to COVID-19 are available in the following publication: Provisional weekly deaths. Data are available for each week in 2020 in the excel chart data download file underneath Figure 2.
We use the term "due to COVID-19" when referring only to deaths where that illness was recorded as the underlying cause of death. We use the term "involving COVID-19" when referring to deaths that had that illness mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, either as underlying cause or contributory factor.
Further analysis of deaths due to and involving COVID-19 are available in our Monthly mortality analysis publication, which may also be of interest.
