The dashboard shows 575 people had died in the area by September 14 (Tuesday) – which was unchanged from Monday.

It means there has been one death in the past week, which is a decrease on three the previous week.

They were among 16,240 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, so some areas might see their figures revised down.

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

The latest figures show 172,127 people had received both jabs by September 13 (Monday) – 61% of those aged 16 and over, based on the number of people on the National Immunisation Management Service database.

Across England, 81% of people aged 16 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.
