NHS England reported 46 new hospital deaths, taking the country's total to 28,221. Data from 30,693 people admitted to 260 hospitals found a 19% increased risk of death with coronavirus for those who were South Asian compared with white people. Experts behind the study said 40% of the South Asians in the group had diabetes - which was a "significant factor" in their increased risk of death. Jewish males had a mortality rate of 187.9 deaths per 100,000, which was roughly twice the risk of Christian males (92.6 deaths per 100,000). For Jewish females, the rate was 94.3 deaths per 100,000, compared with 54.6 deaths per 100,000 for Christian females.
