2:26Now PlayingThe UK has suffered 64,000 more deaths than usual over the course of the #coronavirus pandemic.
An extra 14,000 deaths have been reported that are not officially attributed to COVID-19, with large numbers in care homes.
Deaths per million are higher in the UK than in Italy and France, but lower than in Spain and Belgium.
Boris Johnson said last month that the only accurate way to compare COVID-19 death rates with other countries was by using excess deaths statistics.
