The number of coronavirus deaths were revised down in the latest 24-hour period in Westminster.

A total of 399 people had died in the area when the UK coronavirus daily dashboard was updated on May 13 (Friday) – down from 400 on Thursday.

They were among 20,015 deaths recorded across London.

The figures include anyone who died within 28 days of a positive test result for Covid-19, and whose usual residence was in Westminster.

Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death, so some areas might see their figures revised down.

A total of 154,145 deaths were recorded throughout England by May 13 (Friday) – up from 154,004 on Thursday.

Reduced testing means the reported number of coronavirus cases in the UK is likely to be an underestimate.

However, the Office for National Statistics estimates that 1.5 million people had Covid-19 in the week ending May 7.
