One new coronavirus death recorded at hospitals across England - with none in Yorkshire

The patient died on Friday, August 21 under the care of Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation trust, NHS England said.

There have been no new Covid-19 deaths recorded at hospitals in Yorkshire.

The total number of deaths at Yorkshire hospitals still stands at 2,915.

NHS England and NHS Improvement publish the number of patients who have died in hospital and tested positive for Covid-19 in England.

Since April 28, NHS England and NHS Improvement also reports the number of patient deaths where there has been no Covid-19 positive test result, but where Covid-19 is documented as a direct or underlying cause of death on part 1 or part 2 of the death certification process.

This change has been introduced for deaths that occurred on April 24 and subsequently.

This means the NHS England and NHS Improvement data collection provides information on all Covid-19 related (suspected and confirmed) deaths in England hospitals.
