<p>A total of 26,097 people have died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community in the UK after contracting Covid-19, Public Health England said.</p>
<p>It includes 765 deaths reported in the 24 hours to 5pm on Tuesday.</p>
<p>It is the first time data on the number of deaths in care homes and the wider community has been included in the Government’s daily updates.</p>
<p>The total reached by the new method of reporting is around 17% higher than previous data showed and includes an additional 3,811 deaths recorded since the start of the outbreak.</p>
<p>Of these, around 70% were outside hospital settings and around 30% were in hospital.</p>
<p>PHE medical director Dr Yvonne Doyle said: <i>“Every death from Covid-19 is a tragedy.</i></p>
<p><i>“Tracking the daily death count is vital to help us understand the impact of the disease.</i></p>
<p><i>“These more complete data will give us a fuller and more up-to-date picture of deaths in England and will inform the Government’s approach as we continue to protect the public.</i></p>
<p><i>“It will remain the case that ONS (Office for National Statistics) data, which publishes every week with data from 11 days ago, includes suspected cases where a test has not taken place.</i></p>
<p><i>“ONS figures will therefore continue to include more deaths than our daily series.”</i></p>
<p>Separate PHE data shows nearly a third of all care homes in England have reported suspected or confirmed coronavirus outbreaks.</p>
<p>Some 4,516 homes have reported outbreaks since March 17 up until Monday this week – around 29% of the total care homes.</p>
<p>In every region in England more than a fifth of care homes had reported outbreaks.</p>
