Seven new Covid-related deaths among British Jews

Seven more British Jews have died in recent weeks after contracting coronavirus, according to the Board of Deputies, bringing the number of known victims in the community to 915. 

The latest fatalities were recorded over a three-week period up to last Friday. 

The Board compiles the figures from data from Jewish burial societies across the country. 

In mid-April, the communal death toll linked to Covid-19 stood at 903 and for more than two months afterwards no further Covid-related deaths were recorded.
