Notes:

Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes U07.1 and U07.2. Figures include deaths where coronavirus (COVID-19) was the underlying cause or was mentioned on the death certificate as a contributory factor. Figures do not include neonatal deaths (deaths under 28 days).
Figures are for persons usually resident in England and Wales, and not known to have died before 2 March 2020.
Figures are for deaths occurring between 2 March 2020 and 28 July 2020. Figures only include deaths that were registered by 24 August 2020. More information on registration delays can be found on the ONS website: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/articles/impactofregistrationdelaysonmortalitystatisticsinenglandandwales/2018

Unfortunately, we do not hold an update of this analysis.

However, in case it is of interest, we do intend to publish analysis showing leading causes of death by ethnicity in June 2021.
