The number of coronavirus victims in Britain's care homes could be as high as 7,500, five times more than the official estimate, the sector's main charity has warned.
"Without testing, it is very difficult to give an absolute figure," Martin Green, chief executive of Care England, told The Daily Telegraph.
"However, if we look at some of the death rates since April 1 and compare them with previous years' rates, we estimate a figure of about 7,500 people may have died as a result of Covid-19."
The figure is more than five times higher than the estimate of 1,400 suggested by the government earlier this week.
Britain's official coronavirus toll currently stands at 14,576, although that only includes deaths recorded in hospitals.
