Figures include deaths of non-residents that were registered in each country. 2. Based on date a death was registered rather than occurred. 3. All figures for 2020 and 2021 are provisional. 4. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10) definitions are as follows: coronavirus (COVID-19) (U07.1 and U07.2). 5. [National Records of Scotland](https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/statistics/statistics-by-theme/vital-events/general-publications/weekly-and-monthly-data-on-births-and-deaths-registered-in-scotland) produce figures for Scotland with an updated backseries. We update the backseries until the end of the calendar year, therefore the UK total in 2021 may differ from previous weeks in 2021, but the 2020 UK total will remain constant. 6.
