Occurrences and delays in reporting

Confirmation of COVID-19 diagnosis, death notification and reporting in central figures can take up to several days. The totals reported at 5pm on each day will likely not include all deaths that occurred on that day or on recent prior days.  Additionally, these figures do not include deaths outside hospital, such as those in care homes.   

The data published by NHS England includes both date of occurrence and reporting. Deaths by date of occurrence and cumulative deaths are plotted below. Due to the delay in reporting, recent data is expected to be revised upwards in coming days.
