The deaths being reported today include people who have all died over the previous six days apart from one death on 3 April.
The increase in deaths reported today follows a similar pattern often seen after weekends or public holidays. Delays to reporting can also be associated with people dying with COVID-19, rather than from COVID-19, and COVID being discovered only after they have died.
