Greater Manchester's coronavirus death toll rises again but eight trusts report no new deaths

Another three people with coronavirus have died in Greater Manchester's hospitals.

This brings the total number of COVID-19 deaths in our region's hospitals to 1,954, according to the latest NHS data.

While the number of lives lost to the virus has risen again, some hospital NHS trusts have reported no new deaths.

Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust recorded one more coronavirus-related death, as did both the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust.

The other eight trusts did not record any new deaths in the past 24 hours.

Each day the NHS publishes data on the number of deaths that have been recorded at each hospital trust in England 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.

The total number of coronavirus deaths at hospital trusts in Greater Manchester, as of Thursday, June 11, is:

  • Bolton NHS Foundation Trust - 220
  • Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust - 9
  • Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust - 406
  • NHS Nightingale Hospital North West - 3
  • Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust - 505
  • Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust - 6
  • Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust - 173
  • Stockport NHS Foundation Trust - 199
  • Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust - 174
  • The Christie NHS Foundation Trust - 13
  • Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust - 246

Some of the larger trusts run several hospitals in Greater Manchester.

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust oversees the Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI), Wythenshawe Hospital and Trafford General, while Pennine Acute is in charge of North Manchester General Hospital, Fairfield Hospital, the Royal Oldham Hospital and Rochdale Infirmary.
