Reading now: 725
More than half of England's coronavirus-related deaths will be vulnerable people from care homes, according to new research.
The death toll by the end of June from Covid-19 infections and other excess deaths is "likely to approach 59,000 across the entire English population, of which about 34,000 (57%) will have been care home residents," the study warns.
The estimate includes people who list a care home as their primary residence, wherever they died – including those who died in hospital.
Healthcare business consultancy LaingBuisson has modelled the number of care home deaths likely to have occurred in the absence of the pandemic and used data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
