The NHS says a further two patients have died with coronavirus in Bedford and Kettering hospitals.

The two deaths reported in the Anglia region follows ten hospital deaths reported by the NHS in the region on Saturday and seven on Friday.

The figures tend to fall at weekends because there are delays in reporting. Last Sunday the NHS reported a single patient had passed away and the previous Sunday three died.

The total number of patients dying in the hospitals in the Anglia region has now reached 4,070 and the total number of deaths in all settings, including care homes, hospitals and in the community is 5,839.

The number of patients dying in hospital in the Anglia region with Covid-19 is higher in the past week compared to the previous week.

In the seven days to Sunday, the NHS reported 58 patients had died in the Anglia region. There were 47 deaths reported in the week up to last Sunday.

The Department of Health and Social Care said 44,220 people had died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for coronavirus in the UK as of 5pm on Saturday. The previous day's figure was 44,198.

The government figures do not include all deaths involving Covid-19 across the UK, which are thought to have passed 55,000.
