Care homes say deaths from coronavirus are under-reported because of lack of testing | ITV News

Thousands of people may have died of Covid-19 without ever being diagnosed with the virus, according to new data for England and Wales. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) says that between March 7 and May 1 this year there were 46,380 more deaths than in an average year - but almost 13,000 of these deaths were not attributed to coronavirus. The ONS concludes that many cases may have been missed - the vast majority were in care homes. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Twitter:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Instagram:   / itvnews
