Hundreds more people with COVID-19 have died in Britain than have been recorded in the government's daily tally, official figures showed Tuesday -- including a tide of deaths in nursing homes that staff say are being overlooked.

The Office for National Statistics said 5,979 deaths that occurred in England up to April 3 involved COVID-19, 15% more than the 5,186 deaths announced by the National Health Service for the same period.Newsletter sign-up: Get The COVID-19 Brief sent to your inbox

The statistics office said that up to April 3 just under 10% of deaths involving COVID-19 occurred outside hospitals. "COVID-19 deaths are representative of about... just under about a third of all deaths that we've had over the past three weeks," he told the BBC. "We urgently need these figures on a daily basis to help deal with the emerging crisis in social care and ensure everything possible is being done to protect more than 400,000 elderly and disabled people who live in nursing and residential care homes," she said.

Nearly half of known COVID-19 deaths in Canada linked to long-term care homes: TamWith nearly half of the COVID-19 deaths in Canada linked to outbreaks in long-term care homes, the federal government is urging these facilities to heed the latest national guidelines to control the spread of COVID-19 among their vulnerable residents. AnnieClaireBO Liberals just “Heeding guidelines” say it all doesn’t it? Face the TRUTH re long term elderly care/old age residences, this neglect causing death by dehydration was happening long before COVID 19 due to a culture of protectionism in a failing underfunded medical system. I saw my uncle die of dehydration over many days due to neglect.
