There have been no new deaths from coronavirus recorded at the Wye Valley Trust in the last seven days, figures show.

NHS England figures show 46 people had died in hospital at Wye Valley NHS Trust as of 5pm on Monday (May 18) – with the most recent deaths occuring on Tuesday, May 12.

The victims were among 4,868 deaths recorded across the midlands, up from 4,839 on Sunday.

Across England, the death toll at hospitals in England hit 24,913 on Monday, up from 24,739 on Sunday.

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 last 24 hours 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."

Only deaths that occur in hospitals where the patient has tested positive for Covid-19 are recorded, with deaths in the community excluded, such as those in care homes.
