Labour's @leicesterliz says government must publish daily figures on deaths in care homes.

We'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'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's a huge lag in the data, which also relies on #covid19 being recorded as a cause of death. In many cases, residents aren't tested, therefore covid diagnosis not always clear.
