 Welcome to Tuesday’s coronavirus (COVID-19) latest insights, a roundup of our analysis related to the pandemic. |
There were 109 deaths registered involving coronavirus (COVID-19) in England and Wales in the week ending 2 July 2021.
This accounts for one in 81 deaths registered, a higher proportion than the previous week, when 1 in 120 deaths registered involved COVID-19.
There were 8,808 deaths from all causes in England and Wales in the week ending 2 July 2021, which is 5.2% below the average for the corresponding week between 2015 and 2019.
In England between 21 and 26 June 2021, around 3 in 10 (29%) of the 3.7 million adults identified as clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) to coronavirus (COVID-19) were continuing to shield.
This is despite a change in government advice from 1 April 2021, which no longer required CEV people to shield but recommended they take precautionary measures, such as meeting others outside where possible.
