Deaths:
Please see the dataset, which accompanies the following publication: Coronavirus (COVID-19) related deaths by occupation, England and Wales: deaths registered between 9 March and 25 May 2020. This provides provisional analysis of deaths involving the COVID-19, by different occupational groups, among men and women aged 20 to 64 years in England and Wales. Table 8 of this dataset provides a comprehensive list of deaths by occupation, including education-related occupations.

In order to provide further analysis on deaths from COVID-19 by occupation, we would need to create bespoke analysis.
