Two more deaths recorded in Greenwich

There were two more coronavirus deaths recorded over the weekend in Greenwich.

A total of 575 people had died in the area when the UK coronavirus daily dashboard was updated on June 13 (Monday) – up from 573 on Friday.

They were among 20,178 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 Greenwich.

Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.

Figures reported on a Monday are likely to be lower as a result of a lag in reporting deaths over the weekend.

A total of 155,934 deaths were recorded throughout England by June 13 (Monday) – up from 155,877 on Friday.

The end of free tests in England means the reported number of coronavirus cases in the UK is likely to be an underestimate.

However, the Office for National Statistics estimates that 990,000 people had Covid-19 in the week ending June 2.
