One new coronavirus death recorded at hospital in Yorkshire

The patient died on Wednesday, July 8 in the care of Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

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 rise of one new death brings the total number of coronavirus deaths at Yorkshire hospitals to 2,862.
