Location of 52 new Yorkshire Covid deaths revealed as new update released

Figures released by NHS England show 884 deaths were recorded in the country's hospitals in the 24 hours to 4pm on Wednesday (Jan 14).

The deaths took place between December 4 2020 and January 13 2021, with the time taken for positive results to be received among the potential factors in a delay between a death happening and being recorded.

The data represents the deaths of hospital patients who had tested positive for Covid-19 in the previous 28 days and whose deaths were recorded in the latest reporting period.

Since April 28 2020, NHS England and NHS Improvement also started to report the number of patient deaths where there has been no Covid-19 positive test result but it is documented as a direct or underlying cause of death in the death certification process.

The figures for the latest reporting period show there were 45 such deaths in England.
