"This file contains information on the deaths of patients who have died in hospitals in England and have tested positive for Covid-19. All deaths were reported during the period specified below and are recorded against the date of death rather than the day the deaths were announced."
It doesn't include people dying in nursing homes. It doesn't include people dying in care homes. It doesn't include people dying in supported or sheltered accommodation. It doesn't include people dying in prisons. It doesn't include people dying in their own homes.
From research we think care home deaths are a significant fraction of the total (between 30% to 50%), although we need more information.
We stopped transferring people from care homes to hospitals. We put them on palliative pathways instead of transferring them to ICUs.
