The COVID Diaries – 100 7th July
My hundredth COVID Diary entry and sadly another milestone:
The death toll in England and Wales from COVID-19 has officially reached 50,000, according to data published by the Office for National Statistics today. This shows there were 50,000 cases where COVID-19 was mentioned on death certificates between 28 December and 26 June.
The number of deaths registered in both countries in the week ending 26 June was 8,979 – down 360 from the previous week.
