The first case relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in London, England, was confirmed on 12 February 2020 in a woman who had recently arrived from China. By March 2020, there had been almost 500 confirmed cases in the city, and 23 deaths; a month later, the number of deaths had topped 4,000.
London was initially one of the worst affected regions of England. As of 16 February 2023, there had been 3,129,342 cases,[2] and 184,255 deaths of patients who tested positive for COVID-19 in London hospitals.[5] This underestimates the total deaths attributable to COVID-19; up to 1 May 2020, only 76% of deaths in London involving COVID-19 occurred in hospitals.[5] The city's poorest boroughs – Newham, Brent and Hackney – were the hardest hit areas in terms of deaths per 100,000 population. Harrow and Brent had excess death rates over three times the national average.
