UK coronavirus death toll passes 75,000 | World news | The Guardian
The UK’s total Covid death toll has passed 75,000, according to a tally of all fatalities that mention the disease on death certificates.
The grim milestone comes just over a month after the UK surpassed 60,000 deaths in late October, showing how the Covid death toll accelerated since September, having slowed during the summer.
The figure is higher than the government’s Covid death toll of 59,051. The latter figure only covers people who have died within 28 days of testing positive for the virus.
Covid deaths have been recorded in almost every corner of the UK, with the Isles of Scilly the only local authority area in the country not to have had a coronavirus fatality.
