Each day the NHS in England publishes on the number of deaths recorded by each hospital trust in the last 24 hour period. These are deaths where the person had tested positive for the virus or where COVID-19 was mentioned on their death certificate.These often sometimes include previously uncounted deaths that took place several days - or even weeks ago.However they do not include deaths in care homes, the community or other settings.
