Two more coronavirus deaths recorded by hospitals in Greater Manchester

Two more people have died in Greater Manchester's hospitals after testing positive for coronavirus.

The latest NHS figures bring the region's coronavirus hospital death toll to 5,673.

One more death was recorded by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust - the trust in charge of the Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) and Wythenshawe Hospital.

Another death was confirmed at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust.

The total number of coronavirus-related deaths at hospital trusts in Greater Manchester, as Sunday, March 7, is:

  • Bolton NHS Foundation Trust - 623

  • Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust - 9

  • Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust - 1,127 (+1)

Nationally, a further 90 people, who tested positive for coronavirus have died, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 84,366.

Patients were aged between 34 and 97 years old. All except three (aged 54-87 years old) had known underlying health conditions.

Date of death ranges from January 17 to March 6 with the majority being on or after March 3.

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.
