The Office for National Statistics has analysed all deaths involving coronavirus that occurred in different local areas.
Points on the map are placed at the centre of the local area they represent, and do not show the actual location of deaths. To protect confidentiality, a small number of deaths have been reallocated to neighbouring areas.
For these deaths coronavirus was either the underlying cause, or mentioned on the death certificate as a contributing factor.The ONS also found that deaths involving Covid-19 had occurred at more than twice the rate in the most deprived neighbourhoods in England compared with the least deprived . The respective mortality rates for all deaths suggest that the impact of coronavirus has been proportionally higher on those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods.
The analysis also shows the Covid-19 mortality rate in the most deprived areas of England has been higher among men than women . Nick Stripe, ONS head of health analysis, said: ‘General mortality rates are normally higher in more deprived areas, but so far Covid-19 appears to be taking them higher still.’
