Eight further deaths linked to coronavirus across Liverpool hospitals

Hospitals in Liverpool have been hit by a further eight deaths linked to coronavirus.

Figures announced on Sunday also revealed six more deaths have been recorded in NHS trusts that cover the rest of the Liverpool City Region.

Liverpool University Hospitals Trust, which runs The Royal, Aintree and Broadgreen hospitals, had the largest number of new coronavirus deaths across the region.

Seven further deaths mean the Trust has now recorded a total of 325 tragedies linked to Covid-19.

No new deaths were registered at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, where there has been 16 to now.

Alder Hey Children's Hospital also recorded no further deaths, with its total currently four - all adults who were being treated there.

Their totals rose to 153, 168 and 89 respectively.
