Early May bank holiday delays mean the true death figures are likely to have been even lower.
Coronavirus death registrations in the UK in the week to 15 May reached their lowest point since the beginning of April.Down from 4,426 the previous week, it is the lowest weekly figure since the 3,801 for the week ending 10 April.In the week to 17 April, when deaths from the virus reached their peak, this figure was just under 40%.Death registrations mentioning Covid-19 fell in every setting in the week to 15 May.
As in the general population, the total number of deaths in care homes rose slightly while the number of Covid-19 registered deaths fell. And an analysis of this data, by Prof Carl Heneghan, at the University of Oxford, found there was no additional risk of dying during that period for people under the age of 45.
And for some age groups, particularly the younger ones, death rates had been slightly below average as lockdown had reduced other risks, including road-traffic accidents, violence and other respiratory infections.
