Coronavirus: Another surge in positive Covid-19 cases across Nottinghamshire

Latest figures have shown another surge in coronavirus cases across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, with 315 positive cases confirmed.

Public Health England data for Sunday, March 29 shows that there are 216 confirmed Covid-19 cases in Nottinghamshire - an increase of 23 from Sunday's figure of 193.

In the city of Nottingham there are now 99 positive cases of coronavirus - a rise of two compared to yesterday's total of 97.

This takes the total across the city and county to 315.

Across the country there are now 22,141 positive coronavirus cases - a rise of 2,107 compared to Sunday when there were 20,034 positive cases across the UK.

However, the government anticipates that these figures are much, much higher.

In total, 1,408 people have died in the UK after testing positive for Covid-19, with 180 people dying in the last 24 hours.

It comes as bosses at Nottingham University Hospitals confirmed that on Saturday that a tenth patient has died from Covid-19 across its two sites. She was 87 years old and had underlying health conditions.

Sherwood Forest Hospitals, which runs King's Mill Hospital in Sutton in Ashfield, also confirmed on Friday that five patients who tested positive for coronavirus have died at its site.

In England, 159 people have died in the 24 hours up to 5pm on Sunday, taking the total to 1,284.

The patients in England were aged between 32 and 98 years old and all but four, aged between 56 and 87 years old, had underlying health conditions.
