ONE further Covid-19-related hospital death has been reported today in Bradford hospitals.
According to the latest NHS figures, one further death was reported by Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, on July 28.
Meanwhile, no further deaths were reported by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
It means the total number of reported hospital deaths in the Bradford district now stands at 925 – 655 at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, 268 at Airedale and two at Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust.
A further 60 patients who tested positive for Covid-19 have been reported dead today in hospitals in England.
Their families have been informed.
The figures are updated at 2pm each day and include confirmed death cases reported at 4pm the previous day.
NHS England says: "Confirmation of Covid-19 diagnosis, death notification, death certificates and reporting in central figures can take up to several days and the hospitals providing the data are under significant operational pressure.
"This means that the totals reported at 4pm on each day may not include all deaths that occurred on that day or on recent prior days."
