Please provide: Deaths of UK residents, since February 2020 to date, broken down by age demographic range (i.e under 20, under 40, under 60, over 60) where there were no underlying health conditions or comorbidities, where Covid 19 is the only cause of death listed on the death certificate (not deaths by any other means or death of another condition "as a result of contracting Covid 19"). So purely only deaths by Covid 19.

Unfortunately, we would be unable to provide you with this data for July and August. In order to fulfil this request, we would need use a high level of statistical skill and judgement in order to create a bespoke analysis or table. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to requests. We therefore consider this to be information not held.
