Seven more people have died after testing positive for Covid-19 in North East hospitals.
NHS England has announced 123 new deaths of people who tested positive for Covid-19, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 27,282.
Of the 123 new deaths announced on Friday 19 occurred on June 4, 50 occurred on June 3, 23 occurred on June 2 and seven occurred on June 1.
The figures also show 19 of the new deaths took place in May, four occurred in April, and the remaining one death took place on March 25.
NHS England releases updated figures each day showing the dates of every coronavirus-related death in hospitals in England, often including previously uncounted deaths that took place several days or even weeks ago.
This is because of the time it takes for deaths to be confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19, for post-mortem examinations to be processed and for data from the tests to be validated.
The figures published on Friday by NHS England show April 8 continues to have the highest number of hospital deaths on a single day, with a current total of 899.
