	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2022 answer text <p>The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) provides a daily number of deaths in people with a positive COVID-19 test, to rapidly report numbers of deaths each day and provide surveillance of trends in mortality and underlying transmission. There are two definitions of a death in a person with COVID-19 in England:</p><p>- A death in a person with a positive COVID-19 test who died within 28 days of the first positive specimen date of the most recent episode of infection; and</p><p>- A death in a person with a positive COVID-19 test who died within 60 days of the first specimen date of the most recent episode of infection.</p><p> </p><p>Verifying the number of people who have died from COVID-19 related illness is complex and this is one of several measures of deaths used by the Government, including death certificates and excess deaths. Multiple data sources are triangulated to provide the most accurate picture of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 27/04/2022 16:48:59 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
