Harrogate District Hospital has not reported any coronavirus deaths today, as hospitals in the UK record the lowest number for four weeks.
The number of deaths reported on Sundays and Mondays tends to be lower due to delays in reporting over the weekends, but today's number is the lowest since March 30 when 180 died.
Harrogate hospital has so far reported that 43 of its patients who tested positive for coronavirus have died.
Each Thursday, the hospital releases figures showing the total number of patients who have been treated and discharged – that figure last Thursday was 58.
A further 329 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died in England, bringing the total number of confirmed deaths to 18,749.
Patients were aged between 29 and 100 years old. Twenty-two of the 329 patients, who were aged between 29 and 89 years old, had no known underlying health conditions.
Scotland reported 13 deaths, Wales reported eight and Northern Ireland has not yet released its figures.
The statistics, released each day, do not account for those who have died of suspected coronavirus but were not tested, such as those in care homes.
