Greater Manchester's coronavirus death toll has risen again.
NHS chiefs say 35 more lives have been claimed by the virus in the region.
The latest data released on Friday (April 24) shows at least 1,117 people have died in our hospitals having testing positive for COVID-19.
The biggest rise in deaths was recorded at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, where another 11 patients died.
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust reported a further nine coronavirus deaths, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust seven and Stockport NHS Foundation Trust three.
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, Salford Royal and Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust all reported one further death.
Another patient died at both the Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust and the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust - they are mental healthcare providers.
The total number of deaths caused by coronavirus is likely to be much higher.
Deaths 'in the community' - including care homes and people's own homes - are not recorded in these figures and are published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) several days later.
On Tuesday (April 21), the ONS said more than 1,00 people had died in care homes nationally having contracted the virus.
