editorial guidance on local Covid deaths

The request was refused by British Broadcasting Corporation.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

I am very concerned that local and regional news services are no longer reporting the number of local COVID related deaths and when interviewing people in NHS only asking about numbers of cases and hospital admissions.

Please provide any editorial guidance on local Covid deaths being reported that is being issued to local and regional news services including local BBC radio.

Please include any document or emails on this subject issues in 2021

Yours faithfully,

Keith Kondakor
