Elsewhere in South Yorkshire there has been 284 deaths in Sheffield, having remained the same since yesterday. In Barnsley there have been no more deaths, with the figure remaining at 137. The Rotherham death toll has risen by one to 186.

The figures given by NHS England every day do not include deaths in care homes, so the actual number of deaths is likely to be more than the figure recorded.
