The figures are revised retrospectively so deaths could be added in the future. They can also show fewer deaths on certain days when they are assigned to their correct dates – their figures also now show no deaths on 18 June as well as 3, 4, 5 July.

The Office for National Statistics also publishes figures on a weekly basis that show all registered deaths where Covid-19 is suspected, including outside of hospitals such as in care homes or at home.

Scotland reported its first day with no deaths from coronavirus on 7 June, and Northern Ireland on 26 May. England is yet to report a day without any deaths since March.
