Occurrences and delays in reporting

Confirmation of COVID-19 diagnosis, death notification and reporting in central figures can take up to several days and the hospitals providing the data are under significant operational pressure. This means that the totals reported at 5pm on each day may not include all deaths that occurred on that day or on recent prior days.

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.
