<p>A total of 14,192 deaths where Covid-19 was the primary or suspected cause had occurred across the country by April 10, according to the latest available figures for death registrations.</p>
<p>The number of deaths announced by the UK&#8217;s Department of Health on the same day was 8,958.</p>
<p>The daily figures announced by the Government are based almost entirely on the deaths of hospital patients who tested positive for Covid-19, and do not include most of the deaths that are occurring in the wider community, such as care homes.</p>
<p>Separate figures published by the Office for National Statistics and other sources are now providing a more complete picture, using data based on all mentions of Covid-19 on death certificates – including suspected cases – both inside and outside hospitals.</p>
<p>There is a lag in compiling these figures, due to the time it takes for death registrations to be completed and processed.</p>
<p>There is also a difference in when the figures are reported by various statistical organisations.</p>
<p>It means that April 10 is currently the most recent date where comparable data is available for all the nations in the UK.</p>
<p>But even by this point, the figures show a difference of more than 5,000 between the Government total of 8,958 and the total of 14,192 registered deaths.</p>

<p>The 14,192 breaks down as:</p>
<p>– 13,121 deaths in England and Wales that occurred up to April 10 and which had been registered up to April 18, according to the Office for National Statistics</p>
<p>– 905 deaths in Scotland that occurred up to April 10 and which had been registered by April 19, according to National Records of Scotland</p>
<p>– 166 deaths in Northern Ireland that occurred up to April 10 and which had been registered up to April 22, according to the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency</p>
<p>Each of these totals is updated once a week, with the latest Northern Ireland figures published on Friday.</p>
<p>Because of the time it takes to process death registrations, the figures for April 10 could be revised upwards in the next weekly bulletins from the three organisations.</p>
