Leeds goes 23 days with no coronavirus deaths but three more lives lost in Yorkshire

There have been no new coronavirus deaths recorded by hospital trusts in Leeds for the last 23 days.

Leeds has recorded the highest number of Covid-19 related hospital deaths (338) in Yorkshire during the pandemic, but the city's hospitals have not lost a patient to the virus since July 15.

However, in the wider Yorkshire region there have been a further three coronavirus deaths that have been recorded by hospital trusts today (Friday).

Yesterday was the second day in a row that hospital trusts in the region recorded no new deaths, but three separate trusts have since recorded a single death each.

These were Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, and Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

This comes as ten people who had tested positive for coronavirus in England have died, bringing the total number of coronavirus-related deaths in the country to 29,386.

Patients were aged between 54 and 94 years old and all had known underlying health conditions.

The death toll for Yorkshire now stands at 2,576.

A local lockdown remains in place for parts of West Yorkshire, including Bradford, Calderdale and Kirklees - following a spike in cases last week.

An announcement on these restrictions is expected later today and we will be keeping you updated on these in our dedicated live blog.
