Covid accounted for just one in 16 deaths in England and Wales in first week of Omicron, data shows

ONS data shows 764 of the nearly 12,000 fatalities recorded in England and Wales were linked with the virus. The figure is for the seven days up to December 10 and is the lowest recorded since the week to October 15. The deaths were recorded in the two weeks after the first Omicron infections were identified in the UK.

Covid deaths lag up to four weeks behind infection rates, due to the time it takes for an infected person to die. Another 8,044 Omicron cases were confirmed yesterday, bringing the confirmed UK total to 45,145. UK scientists still waiting for data number of hospitalisations it will cause and how well the vaccines perform
