Anglia region has second highest daily coronavirus death toll in England

  • Anglia

A further 28 patients have died with Covid-19 in hospitals in the Anglia region according to figures released by NHS England on Sunday.

It is the highest number of daily deaths reported in any English region on Sunday apart from the North East and Yorkshire.

The Anglia region reported, on Saturday, that 24 patients has died with coronavirus with 34 on Friday and 31 on Thursday.

There is still a downward trend in the numbers dying with this illness in the region. The average number of deaths each day in the past week in the Anglia region was 27. That is down from 31 per day during the previous week.

Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, 3,666 patients have died in hospitals in the Anglia region.

Although regional hospital figures are collated on a daily basis, deaths in care homes and the community are only published on weekly.

Using the latest figures available from the Office of National Statistics and the Care Quality Commission, the total death toll in the region is more than 5,100.
