As we have been reporting, the latest ONS figures suggest coronavirus-related deaths in England and Wales in the week ending 13 August were at their highest levels since late March.
The ONS counts deaths where coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate, even if the person had not been tested for the virus.

By this measurement there have been 156,958 deaths since the pandemic began.
Because death certificates take time to be registered, these figures are several weeks old by the time they are released.
The other main way coronavirus deaths are counted is in the UK government's daily figures, which count people who died within 28 days of testing positive for coronavirus. By this measurement there have been 131,680 deaths.
There is also a bit of a lag in these figures, although they are more up to date than the ONS data so are monitored by healthcare experts, scientists and politicians to help them decide on their next steps.
The daily deaths figures have been growing even higher since the period covered by the ONS stats released today, with deaths now averaging above 100 a day over the past week.
The daily figure will next be updated at 16:00 BST.
