Harrogate District Hospital has reported that two more of its patients who tested positive for coronavirus have died.

The hospital has now reported 34 deaths in total since the start of the pandemic, with the two latest deaths from Sunday and Monday

It comes as a further 778 people have died in England's hospitals, which is nearly double the number of deaths from yesterday and brings the country's total up to 15,607.

Patients were aged between 22 and 103 years old.  24 of the 778 patients, who were aged between 49 and 91 years old, had no known underlying health conditions.

Scotland reported 70 deaths, Wales recorded 25 but Northern Ireland has not yet released its numbers.

Hospitals in the North East and Yorkshire reported 100 deaths today.

These figures do not account for deaths outside the hospital of people who were not tested but died of suspected coronavirus.

Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust will release figures for the number of people who have been treated and discharged on a weekly basis. As of last Thursday, 51 people who had been admitted to the hospital have gone home.
