BREAKING: UK death toll passes 32,000 as 210 die from coronavirus
However, the ONS data surprisingly showed healthcare workers, including doctors and nurses, did not have a higher Covid-19 death rate than the general population.The figures are based on an analysis of the 2,494 registered deaths involving coronavirus among workers aged 20 to 64 in England and Wales up to and including April 20.
Nearly two-thirds of these deaths – 1,612 – were among men, with a significantly higher death rate of 9.9 per 100,000, compared with 5.2 deaths per 100,000 females. The ONS also found low-skilled workers in construction had a high rate of 25.9 deaths per 100,000 males, which comes less than 24 hours after Boris Johnson said people who work in construction and manufacturing should return to work this week.
