Five more people have died at St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust after contracting coronavirus.
The latest NHS figures have confirmed that one person died on March 28, one on April 8, one on April 13, one on April 17 and one person on April 20.
The figures are updated by NHS England each day and include confirmed cases reported at 5pm the previous day.
The way the data is collated means it can take several weeks for coronavirus deaths to be confirmed and reported to NHS England.
The latest count means St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs Whiston, St Helens and Newton hospitals, has now registered 118 coronavirus-related deaths.
The trust announced on Tuesday Sadeq Elhowsh, a long-serving orthopaedic surgeon, had died after contracting Covid-19.
Thousands of NHS staff gathered outside Whiston Hospital this afternoon to pay their respects to Sadeq, who was described as a loving husband and devoted father to four sons.
Sadeq is one of more than 100 health and care workers who have died in the UK after contracting coronavirus.
Across England, a further 778 people who tested positive for the coronavirus have died.
This brings the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 15,607.
Patients were aged between 22 and 103 years old.
Out of the 778 patients, 24 of them, aged between 49 and 91 years old, had no known underlying health condition.
All of the confirmed deaths provided by NHS England are patients who died in hospitals England and had tested positive for Covid-19 at time of death.
The figures only include patients who died in hospital and not those in the community, such as in care homes or in their own homes.
NHS England does not currently release figures on how many patients have recovered from the coronavirus.
St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has also not yet published its recovery figures.
Public Health England does update the number of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 daily.
As of Monday, April 20, there were 478 confirmed cases in St Helens and 402 in Knowsley.
The figures do not include people who have shown symptoms of coronavirus but have not been tested, meaning the actual number is likely much higher.
