Please supply the figure of individuals under 19 with no pre-existing health issues that have died between the start of the pandemic to the most current date.

Thank you for your request.
We do not hold analysis of all cause of deaths with no pre-existing conditions.
Unfortunately, the methods used in this publication are not suitable to identify pre-existing conditions in all causes of death. This method was developed to identify pre-existing conditions where COVID-19 was recorded as the underlying cause of death. We are currently working on the most suitable method to produce this information for other causes.
However, the following link provides the figures for contributory factors which are recorded on part two of the medical certificate for cause of death. Part II gives details of any associated conditions that contributed to the death, but are not part of the causal sequence.
We do hold the following analysis showing deaths from COVID-19 with no pre-existing conditions by broad age-bands in England and Wales: Pre-existing conditions of people who died due to COVID-19, England and Wales - Office for National Statistics. Please navigate to Table 2 of this publication to view this information for 2020 and quarter 1 and quarter 2 of 2021. Unfortunately, we do not hold this analysis showing COVID-19 deaths with no pre-existing conditions under 19 specifically.
