After a steep rise, there is a clear peak on April 8th, followed by a steady but slow decline. Deaths in care homes increasing around 2 weeks after hospitals, plateauing around 17th April. Care-home deaths now similar to hospitals, and declining at a slower rate.

Further comments:

• ONS death registrations run slightly higher than NHS reports, but smooth out the odd March 31st dip.

Limitations:

• ONS data only covers registrations up to May 30th, and so further deaths may be added.
• NHS data only covers reports up to June 3rd , and so further deaths will be added, particularly to the final few days.

Data sources:

• ONS deaths: Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional: week ending 22 May 2020, data underlying Figure 7 Deaths registered by place of occurrence
