Thank you for your enquiry.
We are responsible for the provision of mortality statistics for England and Wales, driven by the information recorded on death certificates. Unfortunately, we do not hold information as to whether the deceased tested negative for COVID-19. We only hold information on whether COVID-19 was the primary cause of death, supplementary cause of death, or mentioned on the death certificate.
