A total of 125 deaths occurred in the week ending 30 April where coronavirus was recorded on the death certificate, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This is down 99% from 8,979 deaths in the week to 22 January when more than 1,000 deaths were taking place each day. Most age groups are now seeing the lowest number of deaths for nearly eight months, as the combined impact since January of lockdown restrictions and the vaccine rollout continue to drive down the number of infections and hospital admissions.
