The location of every new Covid death recorded at Yorkshire hospitals as total rises by 56

Figures released by NHS England show 630 deaths were recorded in the country's hospitals in the 24 hours to 4pm on Wednesday (February 3).

The deaths took place between January 4 2021 and February 2 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 42 such deaths in England.

Deaths were recorded at the following hospital trusts in Yorkshire and the Humber:

According to Government data, a total of 9,500 patients across all hospital trusts and community settings in Yorkshire and the Humber have died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 up to February 2.

Separate Office for National Statistics data shows there have been a total of 10,305 deaths recorded in Yorkshire and The Humber where the death certificate mentioned Covid-19 as one of the causes.
