From the number of infections to changes in daily routine, statistics tell us a lot about the ongoing impact of the #COVID19 pandemic.

We’ve published 10 key charts on how the UK has been affected http://ow.ly/Fngl50BzNxe 

At the peak of the pandemic the number of weekly deaths in England and Wales was more than twice normal levels.

“Excess deaths” were a combination of those involving #COVID19 and those from other causes which were also above average http://ow.ly/yATW50BzNFs 

While deaths in hospitals peaked at 88% above average in week ending 17 April, deaths in care homes were more than 3.5x the average a week later.

Both have returned to normal levels (or lower), but deaths in private homes remain 30-40% higher than average http://ow.ly/j62I50BzNTE 

Analysis from the height of the pandemic showed that the death rate from #COVID19 was significantly higher among the following ethnic groups compared with those of White ethnicity;

Black
Bangladeshi and Pakistani
Indian
Other

There has been a rise in new infections in England in recent weeks, following a low point in June that had levelled off in August.

These figures do not include people staying in hospitals, care homes or other institutional settings http://ow.ly/wDU150BzOEm 

The #COVID19 lockdown has changed people’s lifestyles and habits.

Mobility levels at workplaces and on high streets remain lower than before, according to Google data, while people are continuing to spend more time around their homes and in public parks http://ow.ly/ik0P50BzP2Q 

While schools were closed, parents had to juggle work with childcare responsibilities (including homeschooling).

Those working from home tended to use the mornings to complete work, with homeschooling mostly taking place in the late afternoon and evening http://ow.ly/p6G350BzPr1 

The #COVID19 lockdown had an inevitable impact on the economy, which shrunk by around a quarter between February and April (it has since recovered some ground between May and July).

The hospitality sector was among the worst hit http://ow.ly/J7cU50BzPFh 

32% of eligible jobs (9.6 million) were furloughed for at least part of the period between March and June.

With young people more likely to work in affected sectors such as hospitality, the proportion furloughed was higher (47%) among 16- to 24-year-olds http://ow.ly/NSU850BzQ1j 

Firms have scaled back hiring significantly.

There were 1.4 vacancies per 100 employee jobs in the three months to August, down from 2.7 at the same time last year and lower than at any time during the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 http://ow.ly/JUTs50BzQ78 

A combination of increased government spending, reduced cash receipts and a fall in GDP has pushed public sector net debt at the end of July to 100.5% of GDP.

Before July, debt had not exceeded GDP since the financial year ending March 1961 http://ow.ly/S0HC50BzQd5
