More than 1,400 people have now died in Greater Manchester's hospitals after contracting coronavirus.

A further 33 COVID-19 deaths have been recorded in the last 24 hours, bringing the region's hospital death toll to 1,415.

The figure only reflects lives lost in hospitals and not in other settings, such as care homes.

The latest local mortality figures reveal that a further seven lives were lost at the Bolton NHS Foundation Trust.

A further eight patients passed away at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; six at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust; four at Stockport NHS Foundation Trust and four at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust.

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust recorded another coronavirus death, as did Salford Royal and Tameside General.

The Christie also registered another COVID-19 death. 

The number of coronavirus-related deaths at Greater Manchester hospital trusts as at May 5:

Bolton NHS Foundation Trust - 176
Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust - 9
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust - 299
Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust - 362
Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust - 4
Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust - 152
Stockport NHS Foundation Trust - 109
Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust - 115
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust - 10
Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust - 179

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.
