NHS England announced 209 new deaths of people who tested positive for Covid-19.
Of the 209 new deaths announced today, 45 occurred on May 10, 76 occurred on May 9 and 18 occurred on May 8.
The figures also show 39 of the new deaths took place between May 1 and May 7, 29 took place in April, while the remaining two deaths occurred in March, with the earliest new death taking place on March 18.
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 today by NHS England show April 8 continues to have the highest number for the most hospital deaths occurring on a single day, with a current total of 886.

A total of 1,862 patients have died in Scotland after testing positive for coronavirus, up by five from 1,857 on Sunday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said.
She said 13,627 people have now tested positive for the virus in Scotland, a rise of 141 from 13,486 the day before.
There are 1,453 people in hospital with confirmed or suspected Covid-19, down 31 from 1,484 the previous day, Ms Sturgeon added.
Of these patients, 80 are in intensive care, a fall of two.
Public Health Wales reported an increase in five deaths, taking the total number of deaths from coronavirus there to 1,116.
A total of 11,468 positive cases of the disease have now been recorded in Wales, a rise of 124.

The latest figures come after Boris Johnson's highly anticipated televised statement to the nation last night during which he announced a number of tweaks to measures.
The PM said there will be bigger fines for anyone who breaches the social distancing measures.
He warned: "You must obey the rules on social distancing and to enforce those rules we will increase the fines for the small minority who break them."

Under current rules aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus, police can issue on-the-spot fines of £60 if someone ignores the lockdown.
The Mirror understands the starting point will now be £100, halved to £50 if paid within 14 days.
It will double for each further repeat offence, up to £3,200.
But the PM encouraged people in England to go out and exercise more.
Boris Johnson said: "From this Wednesday, we want to encourage people to take more and even unlimited amounts of outdoor exercise.
"You can sit in the sun in your local park, you can drive to other destinations, you can even play sports but only with members of your own household."
The Mirror also understands that from Wednesday you may meet someone from another household in public if you stay two metres apart and if there are only two of you - one from each household. You may also sit in the park together.
Today it was also confirmed that some jury trials in England and Wales are to resume from next week.
A statement from the Lord Chancellor issued this morning said: "I am pleased that the courts are now in a position, with approval from Public Health England and Public Health Wales, to take some first steps towards the resumption of jury trials.
"A limited number of trials will take place, conducted safely and observing social distancing rules, at courts including the Old Bailey in London and at Cardiff Crown Court.
"These will also help us to understand how it might be possible to conduct trials more widely as the situation with coronavirus develops."
