Another 15 people have died after contracting coronavirus in Greater Manchester.
The region's hospital death toll now stands at 1,882 according to the latest NHS data.
New data has revealed the north of England has now come the epicentre of the pandemic, with nearly twice the number of new infections as London recorded today (Tuesday).
In Greater Manchester, eleven more COVID-19 deaths were recorded at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust - the NHS trust in charge of several north Manchester hospitals.
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester University NHS Foundation trust, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust and Tameside and Glossopp Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust all recorded one new death.
There were no new deaths at several of the region's hospitals, including Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, and Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust.
NHS England has announced 143 new deaths of people who tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 26,865.
The total number of coronavirus deaths at hospital trusts in Greater Manchester, as of June 2, is:

The latest figures come as the government announced a review into black, Asian and minority ethnic COVID-19 deaths had been delayed.
Public Health England launched a review in May, investigating why factors such as ethnicity can impact people's health outcomes from coronavirus.
However, according to Sky News the review "was being put on hold until Wednesday because it was not ready for publishing."
There are also reportedly "worries" over the findings being published amid the ongoing protests in the US over the death of George Floyd.
