Covid UK decline is official


Coronavirus was no longer the leading cause of death in both England and Wales in March for the first time since October 2020, new figures show.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) data shows that Covid-19 was the third leading cause of death in both countries in March, accounting for 9.2% of all deaths registered in England and 6.3% in Wales.

Covid-19 was previously the leading cause of mortality each month from November 2020 to February 2021.
