They are derived from the same source (civil registration data). ONS data is more comprehensive as it includes deaths of York residents which have occurred and been registered outside York. Local registrar data provides a breakdown by age and gender. For both data sources a death from Covid-19 is said to have occurred when Covid-19 has been recorded on the death certificate. The most recently available data is summarised below: • __ONS Weekly data__: In the most recent period (2023 Week 7: 11.2.23 to 17.2.23) 1 Covid-19 death was recorded as having occurred for CYC residents. In weeks 6 and 5 there had been 2 and 0 deaths respectively. Please note that due to lags in death registration, weekly totals are subject to revision. • __ONS Cumulative data__: Since the start of the pandemic, for deaths occurring up to 17th February 2023 and registered up to 25th February 2023, 569 Covid-19 deaths were recorded as having occurred for CYC residents (360 in hospital, 155 in care homes, 46 at home/elsewhere and 8 in a hospice).
