Coronavirus not among 10 most common causes of death

There were 2,703 excess deaths across England and Wales in September, official figures show – but coronavirus was not in the 10 leading causes of fatality.

The numbers released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), are relative to the five-year average, counting from 2015 to 2019.

The leading cause of death in September for both nations was dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

However, coronavirus was the underlying cause of death in 11.5% of all deaths in England and 9% of those in Wales from January to September this year.

But the data also shows more people who caught the illness, died.

The age-standardised death rate in England in September due to COVID-19 was 12.6 per 100,000 people, up from 7.2 per 100,000 in August

There are early signs the measures to control the coronavirus may be starting to slow the epidemic. The latest analysis by Public Health England (PHE) suggests that in every region COVID-19 rates are levelling off or, in the case of the North East and East Midlands, are even beginning to fall. Cases remain highest in the 10 to 19 and 20 to 29 age groups, but these have started to level-off too, according to the report.

Among 20 to 29-year-olds, the rate was 274.3 cases per 100,000 people in the week to 18 October, down from 300.9 in the previous week. The rate among 10 to 19-year-olds was 207.7 per 100,000, down from 294.4. Although there is an important health warning with the PHE figures. They just count the people who developed symptoms and came forward for testing.

Covid-19: England and Wales begin tougher rules for millions

Stricter coronavirus rules are coming into force for nearly six million Britons.

Greater Manchester’s population of 2.8 million joined Liverpool City Region and Lancashire in England’s highest tier of restrictions at midnight. And from 18:00 BST, the 3.1 million people in Wales will have to stay at home as a 17-day lockdown begins. It comes as a minister said there was a “common purpose here to get the virus down” so people could enjoy Christmas.

“I think few people expect it to be exactly as it would normally,” said Chief Secretary to the Treasury Stephen Barclay – but “the ability of families to spend Christmas together” was “something we all hope to be in a position to do”. Welsh health minister Vaughan Gething said the lockdown in Wales was happening now so “we can have a much more normal Christmas season for businesses”.

The UK recorded another 189 deaths and 21,242 new confirmed cases on Thursday. Warrington has become the latest place to be placed into tier three – or “very high” alert level. The measures will take effect next week. Nottingham and parts of Nottinghamshire are also expected to be moved into tier three next week, with the finer details such as whether or not gyms can stay open still to be decided as talks continue.

The tier three alert level means people cannot mix with other households and pubs and bars will be closed – unless they are serving substantial meals. Some areas in the top tier have also gone further, closing businesses such as bingo halls, casinos, betting shops and soft play centres. Households are banned from mixing outdoors in private gardens or anywhere inside and people are advised against travelling into or out of the area.

South Yorkshire will also move into tier three restrictions from 00:01 on Saturday, by which time more than seven million people will be living under England’s tightest rules.
