COVID-19 deaths Today we are sadly reporting the deaths of 28 people with COVID-19. The deaths being reported today include one person who died in February, five in March, 11 in April, and seven who died over the previous seven days.
Delays to reporting can be associated with people dying with COVID-19, rather than from COVID-19, and COVID being discovered only after they have died.
These deaths take the total number of publicly reported deaths with COVID-19 to 902 and the 7-day rolling average of reported deaths is 15.
