Between 2 March and 1 May more than 27% of care home deaths, some 12,526, are known to have involved Covid-19, according to figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) today.
The ONS recorded a total of 45,899 deaths among care home residents between 2 March and 1 May – more than twice as many as the 22,573 who died during the same period in 2019.
It means that even after the 12,526 known Covid-19 cases are accounted for, there have still been 10,800 “extra”, unexplained deaths which may be directly or indirectly related to the virus, too.
