Coronavirus in numbers

 

  • The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has today published statistics about provisional weekly deaths, including deaths involving Covid-19, for the week ending 8 January.
    • The cumulative number of deaths involving Covid-19 in Welsh residents up to 8 January was 5,599.
    • Of the deaths registered in the week ending 8 January, there were provisionally 454 deaths involving Covid-19. This was the highest number of deaths involving Covid registered in a week since the pandemic began – higher than the first peak in April, but this may be affected by registration delays following bank holidays over the Christmas and New Year period.
    • For the period 29 February 2020 to 8 January 2021, there were 4,551 excess deaths (16%) above the five-year average.
    • The excess death rate for Wales for the period 29 February 2020 to 8 January 2021 was lower than in England.
