Today's update comes from NHS England and only refers to deaths in English hospitals.

The government was previously announcing the number of total deaths, including in all settings such as care homes and in communities.

But on July 17, Secretary of State Matt Hancock asked Public Health England (PHE) to urgently review the way daily death statistics were being reported.

PHE said it is pausing the publication of the daily figure while this review takes place.
