Public Health England collects data on people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and those who have died following a positive test at local authority level.

For Birmingham Upper Tier Local Authority, 5,180 people tested positive for COVID-19 and 1,061 people died following a positive test. These data are as reported at 29 July 2020 on GOV.UK Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United Kingdom data dashboard which is available at the following link:
