Anglia region records no new coronavirus deaths for the first time

  • Anglia

The NHS has reported no new coronavirus deaths in the Anglia region for the first time since before the lockdown in March.

Like last week, delays in the reporting of deaths at the weekend may mean that changes when more information becomes available on Tuesday.

On Sunday the NHS announced three Covid-19 deaths in the Anglia region with 16 announced on Saturday and four on Friday.

Since the start of the pandemic, 3,965 patients have died with coronavirus in hospitals in the Anglia region. The total death toll including those who have lost their lives in care homes, in hospices and in their own homes is 5,673.

Weekly data published by the Office of National Statistics on Tuesday is expected to increase this figure further.

In the past week there has been a slight increase in the number of confirmed positive tests for Covid-19 in the Anglia region.

It's not clear if this is because of an increased infection rate or the result of more tests being carried out.
