Another two coronavirus deaths have been recorded at Greater Manchester's hospitals.
It comes after the region's hospital death toll reached 2,000 yesterday (Saturday).
Some 2,007 people have now passed away having contracted COVID-19 at Greater Manchester's NHS trusts.
The figures do not include deaths in the community, such as care homes, so the true number is likely to be far greater.
On Sunday, NHS England reported another death at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, from June 19; and another at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, from June 20.
The total number of coronavirus deaths at hospital trusts in Greater Manchester as of Sunday, June 21:

The number of hospital patients dying from Covid in Greater Manchester has halved this week, from 28 to 14, the Manchester Evening News reported on Friday (June 19).
Mayor Andy Burnham outlined the latest trends here at his weekly press conference, in which he also highlighted a ‘significant reduction’ in patients in intensive care, adding: “The overall picture is moving in the right direction.”
The number of new cases appears to have currently stabilised at between 200 and 250 a week, compared to the height of the crisis, when numbers were closer to 1,000.
Infections in care homes seem to be ‘stable’ too, he said, with 15pc of those in Greater Manchester currently reporting cases. During the worst weeks of the lockdown, more than half the region’s care homes were experiencing outbreaks.
