More than 140,000 people have now died with Covid-19 mentioned as the
underlying cause or a contributory cause on their death certificates,
according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

That includes 73,500 people in England and Wales registered in 2020, as
well as nearly 4,400 further deaths which were attributed to other
infectious and parasitic diseases.

This means Covid-19 was the underlying cause of more deaths last year
than any other infectious and parasitic diseases since 1918 €“ when there
were just over 89,000.
