The location of every new Covid death recorded at Yorkshire hospitals as total rises by lowest since December

Figures released by NHS England show 149 deaths were recorded in the country's hospitals in the 24 hours to 4pm on Saturday (February 27).

The deaths were between January 8, 2021 to February 27, 2021.

The time taken for positive results to be received is among the potential factors in a delay between a death happening and being recorded.

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 22 such deaths in England.
