Claim: According to NHS England figures, the number of people whose death certificates show death from only coronavirus, i.e. no pre-existing condition, is 1,265.
Fact-check: Covid-19 is the underlying cause of death for most people who die with it - Full Fact
Verdict: this was the correct number of covid-19 deaths  where no pre-existing condition was reported, up to 26 may. but this data isn't the deaths "only" from coronavirus and doesn't tell us what the underlying cause of death was. covid-19 death was determined by a positive test result or where covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate.
