Coronavirus: new figures reveal sharp rise in weekly deaths – BBC News

The latest official statistics on the effects of the coronavirus pandemic in the UK show a sharp rise in weekly deaths. There were around 6,000 more deaths than expected in the week ending 3rd April. There is particular concern about the situation in care homes and in the community. Some of the extra deaths do not appear to be related to coronavirus, with warnings that people may be avoiding going to hospital for other life-threatening conditions.
