The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) has recorded a slight increase in the number of Covid-19 related deaths in the week to March 12, 2021.
Latest figures published today by NISRA show that 30 deaths involving Covid-19 occurred in the week 6th to 12th March 2021 - last week, NISRA recorded 22 Covid-19 related deaths in the week to March 5.
Due to Registrations Offices being closed on 17th March for the St Patrick's Day public holiday, occurrences reflect registrations up to 16th March. The total number of Covid-19 related deaths that occurred up to 12th March 2021 has now reached 2,877. Of the 2,877 Covid-19 related deaths, 1,891 (65.7%) took place in hospital, 764 (26.6%) in care homes, 14 (0.5%) in hospices and 208 (7.2%) at residential addresses or other locations.
The comparative number of deaths reported daily by the Department of Health to 12th March 2021 was 2,098. These figures are based on patients having previously tested positive for the virus, whereas the NISRA figures are based on the information entered on death certificates completed by medical professionals. They may or may not have previously tested positive for the virus and therefore include both confirmed and suspected cases, and where Covid-19 was either a contributor to or the main cause of death.
