Pete Whitehouse, director of statistical services at NRS, said: “The latest figures show that last week there were 72 deaths where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate. The real trend will become clearer in the coming weeks.” The NRS report said daily Covid deaths fell through most of December, reaching their lowest level of six deaths per day in mid-December, but have risen “very slightly” since then to eight deaths per day on average by the end of the month. They differ from the lab-confirmed coronavirus deaths announced daily by the Scottish Government because the NRS figures include suspected or probable cases of Covid-19.
