No New Isle Of Wight Coronavirus Deaths Recorded In Week In June

A week in June saw no new coronavirus related deaths on the Isle of Wight.

Figures released today, by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), show in the week between the 5th and 12th of June, no new deaths were registered on the Island where Covid-19 was mentioned on a death certificate.

This is the first recorded week where no coronavirus related deaths happened in hospital, a care home, hospice, at home, or any other place since the virus started spreading on the Island.

The first recorded death from coronavirus came 12 weeks ago,  in March, according to the ONS figures.

ONS data has a nine-day delay, however, showing statistics until June 12.

Since June 12, figures from NHS England show three more people have died in St Mary’s Hospital, in Newport,  bringing the total to 39.

On the Island, 82 people have died from the virus: At home (3); in hospital (39); in Isle of Wight care homes (39);  and in the hospice (1).
