https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52103808According to the data, there were 210 deaths up to 20 March - the day that pubs and clubs were ordered to shut down to help tackle the outbreak.
That is 40 more than the official figure of 170 released at that time.
Currently, there are not enough tests to check how many people in the community are infected, or how many deaths are linked to Covid-19, the disease caused by coronavirus.
So while these provisional new community figures are important to collect and analyse to help better understand Covid-19, they can't shed much light on the true toll.

Should have started lock down when we were getting reported a number of deaths. To have waited so long.
Half of COVID-19 deaths are in care homes
