Five more lives have been lost to coronavirus in Greater Manchester.
The region's hospital death toll now stands at 2, 079, new NHS figures show.
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust and Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust recorded a new coronavirus death each in their 24 hour data.
Nationally, a further 39 people who tested positive for COVID-19 died, bringing the total number of deaths in England's hospitals to 28,871.
The latest NHS figures were released as lockdown measures are relaxed across the country, allowing pubs, bars and restaurants to open for the first time in more than three months.
Doctors from A&E units across Greater Manchester have urged people to drink and behave responsbily.

The NHS publishes data relating to the number of deaths that have been recorded at each hospital trust in England in the last 24 hours.
These are deaths where the person had tested positive for the virus or where COVID-19 was mentioned on their death certificate.
These often include 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 do not include COVID-19 fatalities in the wider community - including care homes.
