Overall mortality remains in line with pre-coronavirus trends despite a recent increase in Covid-19 related deaths, according to the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI).

Despite year-to-date mortality rates sitting at their highest in 12 years, the level of deaths in the third quarter remained broadly the same as in 2019.

The Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) is asking for industry views to address the “exceptional” mortality data seen throughout the coronavirus pandemic as it updates its mortality projections model.

Despite a surge of small spikes in the number of deaths in the last month on a week-by-week basis, overall levels remain close to those recorded last year, says the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI).

The Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) has labelled statistics which show two months of deaths below 2019 levels as “modest”, warning of high excess figures.

The latest update from the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) for week 30 of 2020 shows a sixth successive week of recovering death rates amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Fewer deaths than might usually be expected at this time of year have been recorded in England and Wales for the fourth consecutive week, according to the Continuous Mortality Index (CMI).

There were 7% less deaths registered in week 26 of 2020 than if death rates had been the same as week 26 in 2019, according to the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI).

The Continuous Mortality Investigation’s (CMI) mortality monitor has recorded a lower number of week-on-week deaths comparative to 2019 for the first since the outbreak of Covid-19 in the UK.
