Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional: week ending 2 April 2021
What's in the bulletin?
- The number of deaths registered in England and Wales was affected by the Good Friday Bank Holiday; 8,201 deaths were registered in England and Wales in the week ending 2 April 2021 (Week 13), 1,844 fewer deaths than the previous week (Week 12).
- In Week 13, the number of deaths registered in England and Wales was 19.0% below the five-year average (1,929 fewer deaths); this is the fourth consecutive week that deaths have been below the five-year average; because of the movement of Easter, Good Friday does not always fall in Week 13 so may not be included in the average.
- We estimate that the number of deaths actually occurring (rather than registered) in Week 13 in England and Wales was between 8,669 and 11,301.

- In Wales, the percentage of people testing positive decreased in the two weeks up to 3 April 2021; we estimate that 3,800 people in Wales had COVID-19 (95% credible interval: 1,900 to 6,500), equating to around 1 in 800 people.
- In Northern Ireland, the percentage of people testing positive appeared level in recent weeks, but there was high uncertainty; we estimate that 6,100 people in Northern Ireland had COVID-19 (95% credible interval: 3,200 to 9,900), equating to around 1 in 300 people.
