The NHS has reported that 19 more hospital patients have died with coronavirus in the Anglia region taking the regional total to 3,685.

The daily figure announced on Sunday was that 28 patients had passed away, which was the second highest figure of any NHS region in England that day.

The daily figures released by the NHS do not included deaths in care homes and the community. That information is released regionally on a weekly basis on a Tuesday.

When the data from last week is combined, the total death toll in the Anglia region since the coronavirus pandemic started is more than 5,100.

There is a slow downward trend in the number of deaths each day across the whole region. The average number each day in the past week was 28 compared with 30 the previous week.

In the past week, 196 deaths in hospitals in the Anglia region have been reported by the NHS compared with 213 the previous week.

The decline in Northamptonshire is much slower than elsewhere and last week the Medical Director of Kettering General Hospital, Prof Andrew Chilton, said the local situation was "still a serious one" and "should not be underestimated."

The latest figures reported seven more deaths in the county with a further three patients dying at Kettering General on 28th and 29th May and four more at Northampton General on 29th and 30th May.
