483 further coronavirus cases and one more death recorded in Hounslow

The number of coronavirus cases in Hounslow increased by 483 over the weekend, official figures show – and one more death was recorded.

A total of 37,863 people had been confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19 in Hounslow when the UK coronavirus daily dashboard was updated on October 11 (Monday), up from 37,380 on Friday.

The rate of infection in Hounslow now stands at 13,932 cases per 100,000 people, higher than the England average of 12,322.

Across the UK, the number of recorded cases increased by 112,469 over the period, to 8,193,769.

There was also one more coronavirus death recorded over the weekend in Hounslow.

The dashboard shows 586 people had died in the area by October 11 (Monday) – up from 585 on Friday.

It means there have been seven deaths in the past week, which is an increase on four the previous week.

They were among 16,525 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 Hounslow.

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.

The figures also show that three in five people in Hounslow have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.

The latest figures show 177,565 people had received both jabs by October 10 (Sunday) – 59% of those aged 12 and over, based on the number of people on the National Immunisation Management Service database.

Across England, 78% of people aged 12 and above had received a second dose of the jab.

Unlike at local level, the national rate was calculated using mid-2020 population estimates from the Office for National Statistics.
