Another 111 people have died with coronavirus in UK hospitals, according to the latest government figures released today.

Data shared by public health bodies in England, Scotland and Wales confirmed another rise in hospital deaths from the virus, while Northern Ireland is yet to announce its figures.

Of the 111 new deaths reported, patients in hospitals in England accounted for 90 deaths, while Public Health Wales reported 12 deaths with coronavirus.

This brings the number of deaths in Wales up to 1,203, while Scotland reported nine more patients have died.

The total number of deaths with coronavirus is likely to be higher, as these initial figures only account for deaths in hospitals and do not measure deaths in other places such as care homes.

On Saturday, May 16, the government announced a further 468 deaths from the virus, which took the total up to 34,466. This figure included all deaths reported at of 5pm on May 15.
