The number of deaths from coronavirus in care homes will be published "very shortly", Health Secretary Matt Hancock has promised.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) began collecting data on deaths linked to Covid-19 which occurred in both hospitals and care homes on Thursday, the minister said.
The most recent figures are of 217 care home deaths registered up until April 3, published on Tuesday by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
It comes after a survey for ITV News found more than 40% of care home staff said they were dealing with suspected cases of coronavirus.
