Two more people have died after testing positive for Covid-19 in North East hospitals.
NHS England announced on Thursday a further 83 people had died in hospital after testing positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number in England to 27,790.
Those who died were aged between 26 and 102 and all had underlying health conditions.
In the North East, Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust saw one death on June 11 and Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust confirmed a coronavirus-related death on June 10.
No other deaths were registered in trusts covering Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, County Durham or Teesside.
NHS England releases updated figures each day showing the dates of every coronavirus-related death in hospitals in England, often including previously uncounted deaths that took place several days or even weeks ago.
This is because of the time it takes for deaths to be confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19, for post-mortem examinations to be processed and for data from the tests to be validated.
The figures published on Monday by NHS England show April 8 continues to have the highest number for the most hospital deaths on a single day, with a current total of 895.
