Fri, 10 Sep 2021

A review of death certificates since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic has identified 10 deaths that are now classed as COVID-19 related, taking the total number of COVID-related deaths in the Isle of Man to 48.

More than 1,400 death certificates going back to January 2020 have been reviewed for any mention of COVID-19, regardless of whether the individuals had the virus at the time of death. In some instances the cause of death may only have been confirmed after a prolonged period.

Three of the 10 deaths now classified as COVID-related were reported on Monday. Since then, seven other deaths have also been identified as COVID-related.
