Thank you for your enquiry.
The latest available quarterly mortality report is available via the following ink: Quarterly mortality report, England: October to December 2019 and year-end review. This publication has been paused, as we have shifted our focus to produce more timely publications, as these will better inform the COVID-19 response.
Please see the following links to these publications, from which total mortality numbers from the first and second quarters of 2020 can be calculated:
The following bulletin and accompanying dataset provide weekly death statistics: Death registered weekly in England and Wales and Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales: Dataset. Row 9 in the tab named 'Weekly Deaths 2020' provides weekly totals of all deaths. These weeks can be calculated to produce quarterly figures.
The following bulletin and accompanying dataset provide monthly death statistics: Monthly mortality analysis, England and Wales and Monthly mortality analysis: Dataset. This provides information from July to October 2020. November data will be available on 17 December 2020.
