One new coronavirus death at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals Trust

NHS England figures show 787 people had died in hospital at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as of 5pm on Tuesday, May 4,.

That was an increase of one compared to Monday, when there were 786.

It means there have been two deaths in the past week, up from one the previous week.

The victims were among 13,314 deaths recorded across the North East and Yorkshire.

Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.

This means some of the deaths that were first recorded in the latest period may actually have taken place days earlier.

NHS England guidance states: "Confirmation of Covid-19 diagnosis, death notification and reporting in central figures can take up to several days and the hospitals providing the data are under significant operational pressure."
