Welcome to Tuesday’s coronavirus (COVID-19) latest insights, a roundup of our analysis related to the pandemic.

Of all the 13,150 deaths registered in the UK in the week ending 26 November, 979 involved coronavirus (COVID-19).
This is 111 fewer than the previous week. Deaths involving COVID-19 accounted for around 1 in 13 deaths (7.4%). UK total deaths include non-residents.

The number of deaths from COVID-19 fell in both England and Wales, compared with the previous week.

Meanwhile, the year 2020 saw 8,974 deaths registered in the UK, which were directly caused by alcohol misuse, equal to 14 per 100,000 people.

These are described as alcohol-specific deaths.

The alcohol-specific death rate in 2020 was 18.6% higher than in 2019. That is the highest yearly rise since the time series began in 200 and represents a statistically significant increase.

The highest death rates for alcohol-specific deaths in 2020 were seen in Scotland and Northern Ireland (21.5 and 19.6 per 100,000 people).
