Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “If you look at the proportion of people in the UK who have sadly died in care homes, it is significantly lower than comparable countries across Europe.”
The government has continually stressed the difficulties of making meaningful international comparisons of coronavirus deaths and, if anything, the caveats around comparing care home deaths are even greater.
A report, external from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control a month ago suggested that the figures for coronavirus deaths in English care homes were low by European standards, but that figure would be sensitive to the amount of testing being carried out in care homes, which was relatively low early in the outbreak.
If you look at the ONS figures, external for coronavirus deaths up to 22 May, 29% of those in England and Wales who had coronavirus mentioned on their death certificates died in care homes.
But the difficulty of making classifications in this area was highlighted in another report from the ONS, external last week. It looked at non-Covid-19 deaths compared with a five-year average and analysed what the people who were dying from things other than coronavirus were dying of.
Two thirds of those deaths were due to dementia, Alzheimer's or a category called “symptoms, signs and ill-defined conditions”, which generally indicates old age and frailty. It may be difficult to spot the symptoms of coronavirus if these people had in fact been infected.
