NHS UK - COVID-19 Daily Deaths

This section contains information on deaths of patients who have died in hospitals in England and had tested positive for COVID-19 at time of death. All deaths are recorded against the date of death rather than the date the deaths were announced. Interpretation of the figures should take into account the fact that totals by date of death, particularly for most recent days, are likely to be updated in future releases. For example as deaths are confirmed as testing positive for COVID-19, as more post-mortem tests are processed and data from them are validated. Any changes are made clear in the daily files.

These figures do not include deaths outside hospital, such as those in care homes. This approach makes it possible to compile deaths data on a daily basis using up to date figures.

Dataset Content

These figures will be updated at 2pm each day and include confirmed cases reported at 5pm the previous day. 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 original dataset is sourced directly from the NHS source site, this original dataset is then cleaned and converted to a csv format available for inclusion into a Kaggle notebook.

There are 3 files considered within the data :- 1. Fatalities_by_age_uk 2.Fatalities_by_region_uk 3.Fatalities_by_trust_uk

Data runs from March 1st up to the current day. Any discrepancies will be outlined. The first is cumulative for any previous days leading up to of relevance. The following days are not cumulative and represent the updated value for the date under consideration.

A start kernel is provided to demonstrate using the dataset.

Updated weekly on Thursdays Older adults and people with disabilities who live in long term care facilities are at high risk for COVID-19 illness and death. The data below describes the impacts of COVID-19 on the residents and staff of Long Term Care Facilities licensed by the State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), including Skilled Nursing Facilities (nursing homes); Adult Family Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. Cases and deaths are also occurring in other forms of senior housing not licensed by DSHS, including subsidized housing for people age 50+, Permanent Supportive Housing, and naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) and among people with disabilities living in Supportive Living Facilities (also licensed by DSHS).

Note: Data elements were retired from HERDS on 10/6/23 and this dataset was archived.

This dataset includes the cumulative number and percent of healthcare facility-reported fatalities for patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease by reporting date and age group. This dataset does not include fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that did not occur at a hospital, nursing home, or adult care facility. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users with information about healthcare facility fatalities among patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease.

The information in this dataset is also updated daily on the NYS COVID-19 Tracker at https://www.ny.gov/covid-19tracker.

The data source for this dataset is the daily COVID-19 survey through the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Health Electronic Response Data System (HERDS). Hospitals, nursing homes, and adult care facilities are required to complete this survey daily. The information from the survey is used for statewide surveillance, planning, resource allocation, and emergency response activities. Hospitals began reporting for the HERDS COVID-19 survey in March 2020, while Nursing Homes and Adult Care Facilities began reporting in April 2020. It is important to note that fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that occurred prior to the first publication dates are also included.

The fatality numbers in this dataset are calculated by assigning age groups to each patient based on the patient age, then summing the patient fatalities within each age group, as of each reporting date. The statewide total fatality numbers are calculated by summing the number of fatalities across all age groups, by reporting date. The fatality percentages are calculated by dividing the number of fatalities in each age group by the statewide total number of fatalities, by reporting date. The fatality numbers represent the cumulative number of fatalities that have been reported as of each reporting date.

Objectives To determine the factors associated with a home death among older adults who received palliative care nursing home services in the home.

   Methods
   The participants in this retrospective cohort study were 151 family caregivers of patients who had died approximately 9 months prior to the study telephone interview. The interview focused on the last year of life and covered two main areas, patient characteristics and informal caregiver characteristics.


   Results
   Odds ratios [OR] and 95% confidence intervals [95% CI] were used to determine which of the 15 potential informal caregiver and seven patient predictor variables were associated with dying at home. Multivariate analysis revealed that the odds of dying at home were greater when the patient lived with a caregiver [OR = 7.85; 95% CI = (2.35, 26.27)], the patient stated a preference to die at home [OR= 6.51; 95% CI = (2.66,15.95)], and the family physician made home visits [OR = 4.79; 95% CI = (1.97,11.64)]. However the odds were lower for patients who had caregivers with fair to poor health status [OR = 0.22; 95% CI = (0.07, 0.65)] and for patients who used hospital palliative care beds [OR = 0.31; 95% CI = (0.12, 0.80)].


   Discussion
   The findings suggest that individuals who indicated a preference to die at home and resided with a healthy informal caregiver had better odds of dying at home. Home visits by a family physician were also associated with dying at home.

Provisional counts of the number of deaths registered in England and Wales, by age, sex, region and Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), in the latest weeks for which data are available.

This table provides an overview of the key figures on health and care available on StatLine. All figures are taken from other tables on StatLine, either directly or through a simple conversion. In the original tables, breakdowns by characteristics of individuals or other variables are possible. The period after the year of review before data become available differs between the data series. The number of exam passes/graduates in year t is the number of persons who obtained a diploma in school/study year starting in t-1 and ending in t.

Data available from: 2001

Status of the figures:

2024: Most available figures are definite. Figures are provisional for: - causes of death; - youth care; - persons employed in health and welfare; - persons employed in healthcare; - Mbo health care graduates; - Hbo nursing graduates / medicine graduates (university).

2023: Most available figures are definite. Figures are provisional for: - perinatal mortality at pregnancy duration at least 24 weeks; - diagnoses known to the general practitioner; - hospital admissions by some diagnoses; - average period of hospitalisation; - supplied drugs; - AWBZ/Wlz-funded long term care; - physicians and nurses employed in care; - persons employed in health and welfare; - average distance to facilities; - profitability and operating results at institutions. Figures are revised provisional for: - expenditures on health and welfare.

2022: Most available figures are definite. Figures are revised provisional for: - expenditures on health and welfare.

2021: Most available figures are definite, Figures are revised provisional for: - expenditures on health and welfare.f

2020 and earlier: All available figures are definite.

Changes as of 4 July 2025: More recent figures have been added for: - causes of death; - life expectancy; - life expectancy in perceived good health; - self-perceived health; - hospital admissions by some diagnoses; - sickness absence; - average period of hospitalisation; - contacts with health professionals; - youth care; - smoking, heavy drinkers, physical activity; - overweight; - high blood pressure; - physicians and nurses employed in care; - persons employed in health and welfare; - persons employed in healthcare; - Mbo health care graduates; - Hbo nursing graduates / medicine graduates (university); - expenditures on health and welfare; - profitability and operating results at institutions.

Changes as of 18 december 2024: - Distance to facilities: the figures withdrawn on 5 June have been replaced (unchanged). - Youth care: the previously published final results for 2021 and 2022 have been adjusted due to improvements in the processing. - Due to a revision of the statistics Expenditure on health and welfare 2021, figures for expenditure on health and welfare care have been replaced from 2021 onwards. - Due to the revision of the National Accounts, the figures on persons employed in health and welfare have been replaced for all years. - AWBZ/Wlz-funded long term care: from 2015, the series Wlz residential care including total package at home has been replaced by total Wlz care. This series fits better with the chosen demarcation of indications for Wlz care.

When will new figures be published? New figures will be published in December 2025.

The dataset provides information about the COVID-19 deaths by racial/ethnic groups related to the long term care facilities located in Santa Clara County. Source: California Reportable Disease Information Exchange. Data notes: The Other category for the race/ethnicity includes American Indian/Alaska Native and people who identify as multi-racial. Data are not presented when the death count is between 1 to 10.

This dataset is updated every Friday.

This dataset presents the annual percentage of registered deaths in England where the recorded place of death is the individual's home. It includes people within a specified age range and excludes neonatal deaths. The data provides insight into end-of-life care preferences and the extent to which individuals are able to die in their preferred setting.

Rationale

An increase in the percentage of deaths occurring at home may reflect improved support for end-of-life care in community settings and alignment with patient and family preferences. This indicator helps evaluate the accessibility and effectiveness of home-based palliative care services.

Numerator

The numerator includes the number of registered deaths by calendar year, area, and specified age range where the place of death is recorded as home. Only deaths occurring in England are included, and neonatal deaths are excluded. Data is sourced from the Death Register.

Denominator

The denominator includes the total number of registered deaths by calendar year, area, and specified age range. As with the numerator, only deaths in England are included, and neonatal deaths are excluded. Data is sourced from the Death Register.

Caveats

No specific caveats are noted for this dataset. However, interpretation should consider regional differences in access to home-based care and variations in recording practices.

For English, see below As of 1 January 2023, RIVM will no longer collect additional information. As a result, from January 1, 2023, we will no longer report data on infections among people over 70 living at home . File description: - This file contains the following numbers: (number of newly reported) positively tested individuals aged 70 and older living at home*, by safety region, per date of the positive test result. - (number of newly reported) deceased individuals aged 70 and older living at home who tested positive*, by safety region, by date on which the patient died. The numbers concern COVID-19 reports since the registration of the (residential) institution in OSIRIS with effect from questionnaire 5 (01-07-2020). * For reports from 01-07-2020, it is recorded whether the patient lives in an institution. Reports from 01-07-2020 are regarded as individuals aged 70 and older living at home if, according to the information known to the GGD, they: • Do not live in an institution AND • Are aged 70 or older AND • The person is not employed and is not a healthcare worker Persons whose residential facility/institution is not listed can still be excluded as individuals aged 70 and older living at home if they: • Can be linked to a known location of a disability care institution or nursing home on the basis of their 6-digit zip code OR • Have 'Disabled care institution' or 'Nursing home' as the location of the contamination mentioned. OR • Based on the content of free text fields, can be linked to a disability care institution or nursing home. The file is structured as follows: A set of records per date of with for each date: • A record for each security region (including 'Unknown') in the Netherlands, even if there are no reports for the relevant security region. The numbers are then 0 (zero). • Security region is unknown when a record cannot be assigned to one unique security region. A date 01-01-1900 is also included in this file for statistics whose associated date is unknown. The following describes how the variables are defined. Description of the variables: Version: Version number of the dataset. This version number is adjusted (+1) when the content of the dataset is structurally changed (so not the daily update or a correction at record level. The corresponding metadata in RIVMdata (https://data.rivm.nl) is also changed. Version 2 update (January 25, 2022): • An updated list of known nursing or care home locations and private residential care centers was received from the umbrella organization Patient Federation of the Netherlands on 03-12-2021. taken to determine whether individuals live in an institution Version 3 update (February 8, 2022) • From February 8, 2022, positive SARS-CoV-2 test results will be reported directly from CoronIT to RIVM. such as Testing for Access) and healthcare institutions (such as hospitals, nursing homes and general practitioners) that enter their positive SARS-CoV-2 test results via the Reporting Portal of GGD GHOR directly to RIVM. Reports that are part of the source and contact investigation sample and positive SARS-CoV-2 test results from healthcare institutions that are reported to the GGD via healthcare email are reported to RIVM via HPZone. From 8 February, the date of the positive test result is used and no longer the date of notification to the GGD. Version 4 update (March 24, 2022): • In version 4 of this dataset, records have been compiled according to the municipality reclassification of March 24, 2022. See description of the variable security_region_code for more information. Version 5 update (August 2, 2022): • The classification of persons aged 70 years and parents living independently has not been applied to reports that have only been received by RIVM since February 8, 2022 via an alternative reporting route. From 8 February to 1 August 2022, the number of reports from independently living persons aged 70 and parents was therefore underestimated by approximately 14%. As of August 2, 2022, this format will be retroactively updated. Version 6 update (September 1, 2022): - From September 1, 2022, the data will no longer be updated every working day, but on Tuesdays and Fridays. The data is retroactively updated on these days for the other days. - As of September 1, 2022, this dataset is split into two parts. The first part contains the dates from the start of the pandemic to October 3, 2021 (week 39) and contains "tm" in the file name. This data will no longer be updated. The second part contains the data from October 4, 2021 (week 40) and is updated every Tuesday and Friday. Date_of_report: Date and time on which the data file was created by RIVM. Date_of_statistic_reported: The date used for reporting the 70plus statistic living at home. This can be different for each reported statistic, namely: • For [Total_cases_reported] this is the date of the positive test result. • For [Total_deceased_reported] this is the date on which the patients died. Security_region_code: Security region code. The code of the security region based on the patient's place of residence. If the place of residence is not known, the safety region is based on the GGD that submitted the report, except for the Central and West Brabant and Brabant-Noord safety regions, since the GGD and safety region are not comparable for these regions. See also: https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/figures/detail/84721ENG?q=Veiliteiten From March 24, 2022, this file has been compiled according to the municipality classification of March 24, 2022. The municipality of Weesp has been merged into the municipality of Amsterdam . With this division, the Gooi- en Vechtstreek safety region has become smaller and the Amsterdam-Amstelland safety region larger; GGD Amsterdam has become larger and GGD Gooi- en Vechtstreek has become smaller (Municipal division on 1 January 2022 (cbs.nl). Security_region_name: Security region name. Security region name is based on the Security Region Code. See also: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl /topics/safety-regions-and-crisis-management/safety-regions Total_cases_reported: The number of new COVID-19 infected over-70s living at home reported to the GGD on [Date_of_statistic_reported].The actual number of COVID-19 infected over-70s living at home is higher than the number of reports in surveillance, because not everyone with a possible infection is tested. In addition, it is not known for every report whether this concerns a person over 70 living at home. Date_of_statistic_reported] The actual number of deceased people over 70 living at home who died of COVID-19 is higher than the number of reports in the surveillance, because not all deceased patients are tested and deaths are not legally reportable. Moreover, it is not known for every report whether this concerns a person over 70 living at home. Corrections made to reports in the OSIRIS source system can also lead to corrections in this database. In that case, numbers published by RIVM in the past may deviate from the numbers in this database. This file therefore always contains the numbers based on the most up-to-date data in the OSIRIS source system. The CSV file uses a semicolon as a separator. There are no empty lines in the file. Below are the column names and the types of values ​​in the CSV file: • Version: Consisting of a single whole number (integer). Is always filled for each row. Example: 2. • Date_of_report: Written in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM. Is always filled for each row. Example: 2020-10-16 10:00 AM. • Date_of_statistic_reported: Written in format YYYY-MM-DD. Is always filled for each row. Example: 2020-10-09. • Security_region_code: Consisting of 'VR' followed by two digits. Can also be empty if the region is unknown.

The dataset provides number of new and cumulative cases deaths with COVID-19 over time among Santa Clara County residents. Deaths are listed separately for patients at Long Term Care Facilities because patients in these facilities are more isolated than the general public and represent a particularly vulnerable population. Source: California Reportable Disease Information Exchange. Data Notes: Deaths are reported by the date of death. Death accounted for in the dataset do not necessarily mean that the individuals died from COVID-19.

The National Survey of Bereaved People (VOICES - Views of Informal Carers - Evaluation of Services) is an annual survey designed to measure the quality of end-of-life care. The VOICES survey particularly focuses on the last three months of life. Results are used to inform policy decisions and enable evaluation of the quality of end of life care by age group, sex, in different settings (home, hospital, care homes and hospices) and by different causes of death. Quality of end-of-life care is also included as an indicator in the NHS Outcomes Framework and the VOICES survey is used to monitor progress against this.

The Department of Health (DH) first commissioned the survey in 2011 to follow up on a commitment made in the End of Life Care Strategy. Previously, very little systematic information was available about the quality of care delivered to people approaching the end of life, despite reports from the Healthcare Commission and the Neuberger review highlighting deficiencies in care. The commissioning responsibility for the survey moved from DH to NHS England following the restructuring of the Health and Care systems in England in April 2013. Each year a sample of approximately 49,000 adults who died in England is selected from the deaths registration database held by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). To ensure the sample represents the deaths in England for the given period and covers the key domains of interest, the sample is stratified according to the cause of death, place of death and geography. For the 2011 and 2012 surveys, geography was based on Primary Care Trust (PCT) clusters. For the 2013 survey onwards, this is based on NHS Area Teams (NHS Area Team 2013 has also been applied to the earlier datasets).

The VOICES questionnaire is sent by post to the person who registered the death of the deceased; this is usually a relative or friend of the deceased. Questionnaires are sent out between 4 and 11 months after the patient has died. As is standard in most postal surveys, if no response is received, this first questionnaire is then followed up with two reminders. Once fieldwork, data capture, cleaning and processing are complete, findings are disseminated at both the national and sub-national level.

Further information about the survey and links to related publications may be found on the ONS National Bereavement Survey (VOICES) QMI webpage.

End User Licence and Secure Access versions available
The UK Data Service holds standard End User Licence (EUL) and Secure Access versions of the National Survey of Bereaved People data. EUL data are available to registered users but Secure Access data are only available to ONS Accredited Researchers (in addition, project approval and successful completion of a stringent training course are required before access can be granted). The Secure Access version contains finer detail variables (e.g. IMD deciles as opposed to quintiles in the EUL data, Strategic Clinical Network in addition to NHS Area Teams, and more detailed information on age, causes, dates and place of death). Users are strongly advised to check whether the EUL datasets (SNs 7975-7979, 8017 and 8018) and are sufficient for their research needs before making an application for the Secure Access version.

Cumulative Deaths

**Effective November 14, 2024 this page will no longer be updated. Information about COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses is available on Public Health Ontario’s interactive respiratory virus tool: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/Respiratory-Virus-Tool **

The methodology used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed to exclude deaths not caused by COVID. This impacts data captured in the columns “Deaths”, “Deaths_Data_Cleaning” and “newly_reported_deaths” starting with data for March 11, 2022. A new column has been added to the file “Deaths_New_Methodology” which represents the methodological change.

The method used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed, effective December 1, 2022. Prior to December 1, 2022, deaths were counted based on the date the death was updated in the public health unit’s system. Going forward, deaths are counted on the date they occurred.

On November 30, 2023 the count of COVID-19 deaths was updated to include missing historical deaths from January 15, 2020 to March 31, 2023. A small number of COVID deaths (less than 20) do not have recorded death date and will be excluded from this file.

CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system which allows ongoing update to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM represents a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent results. Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19 data, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes and current totals being different from previously reported cases and deaths. Observed trends over time should be interpreted with caution for the most recent period due to reporting and/or data entry lags.

CVD-COVID-UK, co-ordinated by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Data Science Centre (https://bhfdatasciencecentre.org/), is one of the NIHR-BHF Cardiovascular Partnership’s National Flagship Projects.

CVD-COVID-UK aims to understand the relationship between COVID-19 and cardiovascular diseases through analyses of de-identified, pseudonymised, linked, nationally collated health datasets across the four nations of the UK. The consortium has over 400 members across more than 50 institutions including data custodians, data scientists and clinicians, all of whom have signed up to an agreed set of principles with an inclusive, open and transparent ethos.

Approved researchers access data within secure trusted/secure research environments (TREs/SDEs) provided by NHS England (England), the National Safe Haven (Scotland), the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank (Wales) and the Honest Broker Service (Northern Ireland). A dashboard of datasets available in each nation’s TRE can be found here: https://bhfdatasciencecentre.org/areas/cvd-covid-uk-covid-impact/

Data set on the prevalence of self-care behaviors by non-institutionalized older adults. Personal interviews were conducted with 3,485 individuals 65 years of age and older, with oversampling of the oldest old. Questions were asked about the type and extent of self-care behaviors for activities of daily living, management of chronic conditions (through self-care activities, equipment use, and environmental modifications), medical self-care for acute conditions, health promotion/disease preventions, social support, health service utilization, and socio-demographic/economic status. A follow-up study by telephone was conducted in 1994 to continue examination of subjects. Many of the same questions from the baseline were asked, along with questions regarding change in health status since baseline and nursing home visits. For subjects who had been institutionalized since baseline (Part 2), information was gathered (by proxy) regarding demographic status, living arrangements prior to institutionalization, and reasons for institutionalization. For subjects who had died since baseline (Part 3), information was again gathered through interviews with proxies. Questions covered nursing home admissions and date and place of death. In both waves, a proxy was substituted if the subject was hospitalized (or institutionalized since baseline), too ill, cognitively not able to respond, or deceased. Survey data were linked to Medicare/Medicaid health utilization records. The baseline data are archived at NACDA as ICPSR Study No. 6718, and the followup data are archived as ICPSR Study No. 2592 and linkable to the baseline data. * Dates of Study: 1990-1994 * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: ** 1990-1: 3,485 (Baseline) ** 1994: 2,601 (Followup) Links: * 1990-1991 Baseline ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06718 * 1994 Follow-up ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/02592
