answer text <p>Excess deaths are the difference between the number of registered deaths and the number expected based on previous trends. Weekly estimates of excess deaths are published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Its latest data shows that for the years 2020 to 2022, there were an estimated 151,506 estimated excess deaths in England.</p><p>It is likely that deaths from COVID-19 were a large driver of excess deaths in the peak pandemic periods. Deaths were above the expected level for most of the second half of 2021, and from March 2022 until the summer of 2023; however, deaths have been below the expected level for most weeks since then.</p><p>The drivers of excess deaths are not fully understood, and the excess is likely to be the net effect of many complex and potentially related factors. The attribution of excess deaths to these factors is complex and beyond the scope of the ONS methodology. The UK Health Security Agency has estimated the excess deaths due to acute factors, such as heatwaves, cold snaps, COVID-19 and influenza.</p>

answer text <p>The most recent data from the Winter Covid-19 Infection Study, a joint study carried out by the Office for National Statistics and the UK Health Security Agency, shows that, for the period 6 February 2024 to 7 March 2024, an estimated 2 million people, or 3.3% of the population, in private households in England and Scotland, reported experiencing long COVID symptoms more than four weeks after a COVID-19 infection. Of these, an estimated 1.5 million people reported that day-to-day activity had been limited, of which an estimated 381,000 reported that day-to-day activity had been limited a lot.</p><p>Where data was available to calculate the exact duration of long COVID, this showed that an estimated 164,000 people first had, or suspected they had, COVID-19 less than 12 weeks previously, 1.1 million people had symptoms for 12 or more weeks, 930,000 people for at least a year and 670,000 for at least two years. We do not know the exact duration for an estimated 680,980. These results are based on questionnaire responses from 107,852 participants, where weighted percentages from the questionnaire have been applied to the population total in England and Scotland.</p>

answer text <p>The Government is considering the judgment carefully before deciding on next steps.</p><p>The Government has consistently made clear that the provisions in the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement referred to in the Windsor Framework were developed specifically against the background of Northern Ireland's unique circumstances. They do not concern and should not be brought into the complex legal debate concerning illegal migration.
