According to NHS figures released on Saturday, 16 more hospital patients have died with coronavirus in the Anglia region - 12 more than on Friday.

Ten of the patients died in Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire where local health officials have been concerned about high infection rates and about how the number of cases have failed to decline as fast as in neighbouring areas.
