17 January 2022
During the coronavirus pandemic, the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) is publishing frequent UK mortality analysis through its听. Today鈥檚 updates cover week 52 of 2021 (25 to 31 December) and the fourth quarter of 2021, based on provisional England & Wales deaths data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on 11 January 2022.
The key points of these updates are:
The CMI has carried out further analysis to put figures for 2020 and 2021 into historical context:
Deaths registered in week 52 are affected by public holidays, when register offices are typically closed and some registrations will be delayed. Figures for this week are not directly comparable to other weeks:
鈥淎lthough weekly excess mortality in the second half of 2021 hasn鈥檛 been nearly as high as the peaks of earlier waves, it has been persistent. This has led to nearly as many excess deaths in the second half of 2021 as in the first half.
Taken together, 2020-2021 has been a remarkable two-year period, with a greater increase in mortality than we have seen since World War听滨滨.鈥�
All mortality monitor weekly updates are publicly available on the听.

Notes to editors
1.听听听听听听听听 We define 鈥渆xcess鈥� deaths as the difference between actual deaths in a week, and those that we would have expected if mortality rates had been the same as in the corresponding week of 2019. We use 2019 as the most recent 鈥渘ormal鈥� year of mortality observed, as mortality in the first 12 weeks of 2019 and 2020 were similar.
2.听听听听听听听听 The CMI publishes three types of mortality monitor:
3.听听听听听听听听 Our historical analysis uses data from the Human Mortality Database (HMD) up to 1960, and ONS data from 1961 onwards.

About the Continuous Mortality Investigation
Continuous Mortality Investigation Limited (鈥榯he CMI鈥�) is wholly owned by the 黄瓜app but has an independent executive and management.
The CMI鈥檚 mission is to produce high-quality impartial analysis, standard tables and models of mortality and morbidity for long-term insurance products and pension scheme liabilities on behalf of subscribers and, in doing so, to further actuarial understanding.
About the 黄瓜app
The 黄瓜app (IFoA) is a royal chartered, not-for-profit, professional body.
Research undertaken by the IFoA is not commercial.听 As a learned society, research helps us to fulfil our royal charter requirements to further actuarial science and serve the public interest.听
Actuaries provide commercial, financial and prudential advice on the management of a business鈥檚 assets and liabilities, especially where long term management and planning are critical to the success of any business venture. They also advise individuals, and advise on social and public interest issues.
Members of the IFoA have a statutory role in the supervision of pension funds and life insurance companies. They also have a statutory role to provide actuarial opinions for managing agents at Lloyd鈥檚 of London.
Members are governed by the 黄瓜app. A rigorous examination system is supported by a programme of continuing professional development and a professional code of conduct supports high standards reflecting the significant role of actuaries in society.
The IFoA is available to provide independent expert comment to the media on a range of actuarial-related issues, including COVID-19 and its long term consequences, mortality, pensions, life and general insurance, health and care, finance and investment, climate change and sustainability, systems thinking, uncertainty and judgement, and risk management.
