Labour& #39;s @leicesterliz says government must publish daily figures on deaths in care homes.

We& #39;ve spoken to care homes where some residents have died in hospital and are therefore measured in stats, while others died at home and therefore aren& #39;t - data is very messy. #covid19
Tomorrow ONS is due to publish new data on deaths in community, which does include care homes. But there& #39;s a huge lag in the data, which also relies on #covid19 being recorded as a cause of death. In many cases, residents aren& #39;t tested, therefore covid diagnosis not always clear.
