Due to the method of counting, patients who test positive for coronavirus, but are successfully treated, are still being counted as dying from the virus, meaning the count is 'exaggerated' by thousands
UK coronavirus daily death toll count could be scrapped due to it being 'exaggerated'
The UK's official coronavirus daily death count could be scrapped following an investigation into Public Health England's method of counting the toll, it has been claimed.
The conclusions of the probe, ordered by Health Secretary Matt Hancock after it emerged officials were "exaggerating" virus deaths, are expected this week, the Telegraph reports.
One recommendation could be to move to a weekly official death toll instead, a government source told the newspaper.
Downing Street said a decision is likely to be announced soon, likely this week. However, the spokesman suggested there would be no move to publishing deaths weekly, saying: “We’re working to resume publication of daily data on coronavirus deaths.”
Britain paused its daily update of the death toll last month and the government ordered a review into how Public Health England reports coronavirus deaths, after academics said the daily figures may include people who died of other causes.

England's death figures vary substantially from day to day due to this reason, the academics had argued.

There is a cut-off threshold of 28 days in Scotland after a positive test, after which a patient is not automatically considered to have died from the virus.
Britain, one of the countries hardest hit by the virus, reported more than 1,000 new Covid-19 infections on Sunday, its highest daily increase since June, taking the total number of cases past 310,000.
It was reported last week up to 10 percent of coronavirus deaths recorded in England will be chalked off due to the error.
The mishap means all of England's 265,000 confirmed cases would in time be included on the toll, regardless of the circumstances around someone's death.
More than 4,000 deaths could be wiped off the count.
Professor Carl Heneghan, from the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University, said the move is "a sensible decision" because "at the moment, the figures are just confusing".
He told The Sun he originally spotted the problem in July.
"All it does is muddy the water. While deaths are falling in Scotland, PHE data suggests matters are worse in England," he said.
"The 28 day measure lets you know the impact the virus is having on our health care system over the previous month and we can respond accordingly," he added.
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesman previously said: "The Health Secretary has asked Public Health England to conduct an urgent review into the reporting of deaths statistics, aimed at providing greater clarity on the number of fatalities related to Covid-19 as we move past the peak of the virus."
A No10 spokesman said: "We have been reviewing the publication of the daily death statistics and I’d expect us to be providing an update on this shortly.
“What we’re doing is working to review publication of the daily data on coronavirus deaths as soon as possible.”
The No10 spokesman told journalists: “It’s certainly possible that you will see something this week but I don’t have the very specific timeframe to give you.”

thedailymirror--2020-08-09--High Streets could turn into 'ghost towns' under local lockdowns, warns Labour

High Streets could turn into ‘ ghost towns ’ under local lockdown restrictions - with hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk , Labour has warned .
The Party is calling for more support for workers and businesses in areas placed under stricter rules to combat local coronavirus outbreaks .
Labour said a £170 million underspend in the Government ’ s Covid-19 grants programme for businesses in local lockdown areas should be used to safeguard jobs rather than “ clawed back ” by ministers .
The party estimated that this funding could support an additional 15,000 businesses in areas with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Preston , Greater Manchester , east Lancashire and parts of West Yorkshire due to local outbreaks .
Scotland 's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon also imposed localised restrictions in Aberdeen after an outbreak linked to the city 's bars .
Shadow Business Minister Lucy Powell said : `` It 's a week since local restrictions were put in place in Greater Manchester , and West Yorkshire , yet there has been zero extra support for struggling businesses caught up in this public health crisis .
`` We 're seeing a wave of redundancies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and livelihoods , which could lead to ghost towns , as businesses are forced to shut up shop .
`` Unless ministers take action to provide extra help to firms , that wave will turn into a tsunami leading to lasting damage , and the loss of many thousands of jobs , weakening our economy and our ability to recover from the crisis . ''
Labour called for a Hospitality and High Streets Fightback Fund to protect jobs and help struggling firms , adding that if local areas were able to use the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it would unlock significant funds for local areas to target help .
Funds should be better focused on struggling businesses and their supply chains , including bed and breakfasts , hotels and cafes in coastal communities , conference centres and music venues , said Labour .

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been seen in Miami after arriving back from a family holiday in the Dominican Republic .
The troubled couple are said to be ' a lot happier ' after taking time away and there are hopes that this may have gone some way towards saving their marriage .
The 39-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star had found it `` hard to think clearly '' after a turbulent few weeks , in which Kanye hit out at her during a couple chaotic Twitter rants .
The reality star was also clearly upset during a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Wyoming , where Kanye was staying at their rance .
The atmosphere seemed a whole lot different now that they have had some private time together with Kanye even posting a video of him dancing with his daughter and clearly enjoying life more than he seemingly has been in recent weeks .
Kim and Kanye exited the plane with their four little ones ( North , seven , Saint , four , Chicago , two , Psalm , one ) on Sunday .
The KKW Founder held Chicago in her arms , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dress .
Kanye was keeping it casual with a grey sweatshirt and brown trousers as they arrived in Florida .
A source told PEOPLE : `` They had a good family week in the Dominican Republic .
They are continuing the family vacation in Colorado .
`` Kim and Kanye are getting along .
They both seem much happier . ''
An insider has previously said that this holiday time was being used to `` focus on their marriage . ''
They continued to add : `` They decided to travel together so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Between the kids , work , and dealing with Kanye 's bipolar episodes , it 's been hard for her to think clearly . ''
It has been quite a turnaround from recent times in which Kanye has accused Kim of wanting to terminate her first pregnancy and for cheating with fellow rapper Meek Mill , when she met him to speak about criminal justice reform .
Kanye issued a public apology after the cutting remarks , tweeting : `` I would like to apologise to my wife Kim for going public with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` I did not cover her like she has covered me .
To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you .

Kim Kardashian and Kanye have arrived back in the United States after a family break in the Dominican Republic which has left the troubled couple feeling 'a lot happier'
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been seen in Miami after arriving back from a family holiday in the Dominican Republic.
The troubled couple are said to be 'a lot happier' after taking time away and there are hopes that this may have gone some way towards saving their marriage.
The 39-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star had found it "hard to think clearly" after a turbulent few weeks, in which Kanye hit out at her during a couple chaotic Twitter rants.
The reality star was also clearly upset during a tense meeting with her 43-year-old rapper husband in Wyoming, where Kanye was staying at their rance.
The atmosphere seemed a whole lot different now that they have had some private time together with Kanye even posting a video of him dancing with his daughter and clearly enjoying life more than he seemingly has been in recent weeks.

Kim and Kanye exited the plane with their four little ones (North, seven, Saint, four, Chicago, two, Psalm, one) on Sunday.
The KKW Founder held Chicago in her arms, as she looked stylish in a pink dress.
Kanye was keeping it casual with a grey sweatshirt and brown trousers as they arrived in Florida.
A source told PEOPLE: "They had a good family week in the Dominican Republic. They are continuing the family vacation in Colorado.
"Kim and Kanye are getting along. They both seem much happier."
An insider has previously said that this holiday time was being used to "focus on their marriage."
They continued to add: "They decided to travel together so they can be away in private. Between the kids, work, and dealing with Kanye's bipolar episodes, it's been hard for her to think clearly."
It has been quite a turnaround from recent times in which Kanye has accused Kim of wanting to terminate her first pregnancy and for cheating with fellow rapper Meek Mill, when she met him to speak about criminal justice reform.

Kanye issued a public apology after the cutting remarks, tweeting: "I would like to apologise to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter.
"I did not cover her like she has covered me. To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me, thank you for always being there for me."

However, coronavirus deaths in hospitals have collapsed from 866 people a day on April 10 at the height of the pandemic to just five on Thursday August 5 last week, the latest data from NHS England shows.

Hospital staff in England were dealing with around 17,000 coronavirus patients a day in mid-April.
But as of last week, the data shows medics were treating just 700 patients for Covid-19 — a dramatic fall of 96%.
The Government has also signalled it is ready to take countries such as France off its air bridge list amid spiking infections in Europe.
Mr Johnson said: “I don’t want to advise people about their individual holidays, individual decisions, they should look at the travel advice from the Foreign Office clearly.
“But what I will say, and I hope people would expect us to do this, in the context of a global pandemic, we’ve got to keep looking at the data in all the countries to which British people want to travel.
“Where it is necessary to impose restrictions or to impose a quarantine system, we will not hesitate to do so.
“It’s been a huge effort for the entire population of this country to get the disease down to the levels that we are currently seeing, but we do not want reinfection and that’s why we’ve got to keep a very, very close eye on the data in destinations around the world.”

This latest incident comes as the RNLI has issued a warning to beachgoers using inflatables at sea after a series of multiple rescues.
There were five separate call-outs along Bournemouth beach in Dorset on Sunday involving children as young as seven years old who got caught out by a strong off-shore wind.

In the most serious incident, a teenage girl and her father were rescued 700 yards off Bournemouth pier in fading light.
They had fallen off their inflatable and spent 40 minutes treading water before being plucked out of the sea by a lifeboat crew.
A police helicopter which was also involved in the rescue dropped floating devices for them to hold on to before Poole Lifeboat arrived.
Both the father and daughter were suffering from hypothermia and were in a 'distressed' state.
A woman also died following a collision between a water bike and a boat off Anglesey.
