Thank you for your enquiry requesting deaths involving influenza for 2020.

Our NOMIS webservice provides deaths by ICD-10 code in England and Wales. Coding for cause of death is carried out according to the World Health Organization (WHO) International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and internationally agreed rules. This was updated with 2020 mortality data after the data were finalised in the summer of 2021.
