The number of deaths registered in week 34 was 5.2% above the five-year average (474 deaths higher).

This is the second consecutive week that weekly deaths have been above the five-year average, however, the rise was not driven by #COVID19 ow.ly/Kwy950Bfy4V

We’ve published our monthly mortality data for July 2020.

These data are not directly comparable with our weekly data on deaths registered in England and Wales, as weeks do not aggregate exactly into calendar months ow.ly/eyts50B5iPn
In July 2020, there were 38,179 deaths registered in England, 576 more than the five-year average for July.

In Wales, there were 2,548 deaths registered, 69 more than the five-year average for July ow.ly/k7WZ50B5j4R
July 2020 had more weekdays (when most deaths are registered) than most years from 2015-2019.

As a result, while the weekly number of deaths registered was below that week’s five-year average, more deaths were registered overall than the average for July ow.ly/pZGV50B5jaT

We have investigated the link between air pollution and #COVID19 deaths in England.

We found some evidence to suggest a correlation, but it is likely to be lower than that found in other studies ow.ly/bizl50AYelG Does exposure to air pollution increase the risk of dying fr

For the first time, we’ve published comparisons of all-cause mortality between European countries, regions and local areas from January to June 2020 and compared with the five-year average ow.ly/dOMl50AM2IX
All-cause mortality voids the issue of different countries recording #COVID19 deaths in different ways.

This measure also considers indirect impacts of the pandemic, such as delayed access to healthcare ow.ly/lnLK30r1ANG
In the UK, excess mortality was seen in every local authority area during the peak weeks (week ending 3 April to week ending 8 May 2020).

However for other Western European countries excess mortality varied by local area in this time ow.ly/xWgr30r1AO2

We’ve published updated analysis on #COVID19 deaths by local areas and deprivation.

Between 1 March and 30 June 220,636 deaths occurred in England and Wales that were registered by 11 July.

Of those, 50,574 (22.9%) involved COVID-19 ow.ly/hwGA50AGVWv
We use “age-standardised mortality rates”, which allow for differences in the age structure of populations.

These allow us to make valid comparisons between different geographic areas ow.ly/qzZ030r0mtK
Between 1 March and 30 June there were 88.0 deaths involving #COVID19 per 100,000 people in England and Wales

▪️ 88.7 per 100,000 persons in England
▪️ 73.7 per 100,000 persons in Wales
