Why wait for the annual reports?
Here's a link to the latest weekly report that they apparently don't publish any more:

If you go into hospital with a serious illness and catch Covid in hospital , you may not require treatment for Covid but still die of the serious illness you went in for. So Covid had nothing to do with the death.
It was reported on NZ news that a man shot dead had to be reported as a Covid death because he had it but didnt die of it.
Hope this helps giddy
I think there must be a fairly clear definition that epidemiologists will use, otherwise the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic would still be going on. There never was a pandemic in the UK as that's not the definition of one. The pandemic is global and as far as I'm aware is expected to continue at least through 2022. What you are referring to is that conditions pertaining to Covid seem to have improved considerably in the UK since March 2021, not that the pandemic is over.
