  • Anglia

An additional 28 patients have died in hospitals in the Anglia region taking the total number of hospital deaths for the area to 3,310.

NHS England reports the figures on a daily basis although the patients may have died some days ago.

Tuesday's total of 28 is the highest for three days which takes into account a time lag in the reporting of data over the weekend. On Monday, 15 deaths were reported with 14 on Sunday.

The Office of National Statistics has also published figures for the numbers of deaths since the start of the coronavirus outbreak up until the first week of April. That includes the deaths outside of hospitals, for instance in care homes, hospices and of people in their own homes.

Across the Anglia region, 894 residents in care homes died with Covid-19 during the period up to the 8th May. The Care Quality Commission reported a further 152 deaths in care homes in the region in the week to 15th May.

When the data from all sources is combined, the total number of people dying in the region with coronavirus has reached more than 4,700.
