29 April - Worldometers - Coronanvirus - UK - reported that UK deaths had reached 21,678 (not including care homes and in the community)
ONS information up to 17 April - Up to 17 April, there were 19,112 deaths registered in England and Wales involving COVID-19 (11,405 men and 7,707 women). The majority of deaths involving COVID-19 have been among people aged 65 years and over (16,690 out of 19,112), with 41% (6,899) of these occurring in the over-85 age group.
High Consequence Infectious Diseases:
On 22 October 2018 the UK government published
information about High Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCID). This was amended on 19 March 2020 to state - "
"As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.
The 4 nations public health HCID group made an interim recommendation in January 2020 to classify COVID-19 as an HCID. This was based on consideration of the UK HCID criteria about the virus and the disease with information available during the early stages of the outbreak. Now that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK HCID criteria. They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase.
The Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) is also of the opinion that COVID-19 should no longer be classified as an HCID.
The need to have a national, coordinated response remains, but this is being met by the government’s COVID-19 response."

30 April - Worldometers - Coronanvirus - UK - reported that UK deaths had reached 26,097. (The figures now appear to combine hospital and care home deaths). The Times explained the change in the way statistics are presented. Previously, the total did not include deaths that had taken place in locations such as care homes – although the total did include some deaths outside hospitals in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. From 29 April, the total includes the number of deaths that have been reported in all settings – both inside and outside hospitals – in all parts of the UK where there has been a positive Covid-19 test. The total announced was therefore 26,097 – 3,811 higher than what the total would have been under the old method.
