In the last 48 hour reporting period, seven further coronavirus-related deaths were recorded at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.

Five deaths were reported at Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust.

Both the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust reported four further deaths each.

Three deaths were recorded at Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, two at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust and one at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust.

Each day the NHS in England publishes the number of deaths recorded by each hospital trust in the last 24-hour period.

These are deaths where the person had tested positive for the virus or where COVID-19 was mentioned on their death certificate.

NHS England's daily figures sometimes include previously uncounted deaths that took place several days - or even weeks ago.

They do not include deaths in care homes or community settings.
