One more coronavirus-related death recorded across Greater Manchester's hospitals

One more person has died after testing positive for coronavirus across Greater Manchester's hospitals.

Bolton NHS Foundation trust recorded one Covid-19 related death in the last 24 hours, taking the total deaths there to 650.

It takes the region's total death toll to 5,902, the latest NHS figures show.

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.

The total number of coronavirus-related deaths at hospital trusts in Greater Manchester, as of Friday, May 21, are:

  • Bolton NHS Foundation Trust - 650 (+1)

  • Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust - 9

  • Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust - 1,185

  • NHS Nightingale Hospital North West - 6

  • Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust - 1,599

  • Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust - 8

  • Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust - 504

  • Stockport NHS Foundation Trust - 562

  • Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust - 587

  • The Christie NHS Foundation Trust - 28

  • Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust - 764

It appears that the national lockdown and large-scale vaccine rollout have contributed to lower cases of serious illness and deaths from the virus.

Deaths involving COVID-19 in England and Wales have fallen by 99pc from the peak of the second wave of the virus in January, figures from the Office for National Statistics show.
