Greater Manchester's hospital coronavirus death toll rises again

Eight more people have died from coronavirus in Greater Manchester's hospitals.

The region's hospital death toll has now reached 3,629, the latest NHS figures show.

Seven more Covid-related deaths were recorded at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust.

One more death was confirmed at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust where 1,022 lives have been claimed by the virus.

The trust's figures include deaths at North Manchester General, the Royal Oldham, Fairfield General and Rochdale Infirmary.

A total of 19 deaths were recorded across the North West in the last 24 hours.

The total number of coronavirus deaths at hospital trusts in Greater Manchester, as of Monday, November 30, are:

  • Bolton NHS Foundation Trust - 378
  • Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust - 9
  • Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust - 665
  • NHS Nightingale Hospital North West - 6
  • Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust - 1,022
  • Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust - 7
  • Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust - 308
  • Stockport NHS Foundation Trust - 311
  • Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust - 410
  • The Christie NHS Foundation Trust - 18
  • Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust - 495

Nationally, a further 183 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died, bringing the total number of confirmed deaths in hospitals in England to 40,588.

Patients were aged between 52 and 95 years old, NHS England said. All except three (aged 84 to 93 years old) had known underlying health conditions.

Date of death ranges from November 5-29 with the majority being on or after November 23.

Each day the NHS in England publishes the number of deaths recorded by each hospital trust in the last 24-hour period.

These are deaths where the person had tested positive for the virus or where COVID-19 was mentioned on their death certificate.

NHS England's daily figures sometimes include previously uncounted deaths that took place several days - or even weeks ago.

They do not include deaths in care homes or community settings.
