The UK has now seen over a hundred deaths of health and social care workers from novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
The journal Nursing Notes has collated a database of deaths that are in the public domain:
I have transcribed the data, as of 21 April 2020, to a spreadsheet so that it can be interrogated more easily by anyone who has an interest in these deaths, with a death of a Southwark social worker added.
Additional details have been added such as employing NHS trusts where relevant, and links to press reports of each death.
I will endeavour to update the spreadsheet periodically.
The spreadsheet can be downloaded from this link:
Of staff deaths in the public domain, the data so far shows 67 Covid-19 staff deaths in 51 NHS trust. Of these, there were 11 staff deaths in 7 mental health trusts.
The worst affected trusts are:

Alexander's Excavations 
Thank you, Dr A.
I read and followed the instructions for -“Guidance for the wearing and removal of PPE.”
However, I did not see the instructions for Brits to improvise in the absence of PPE by deploying borrowed aprons and bin bags.
I am surprised there are not more deaths of frontline staff – perhaps there are, but the figures are also absent or missing.
My greatest respect for those who gave their all. RIP.
