THE number of patients in the Bradford district with Covid-19 has seen a slight reduction overall - though numbers have risen at Airedale.
The latest figures from the West Yorkshire Association of Acute Trusts (WYAAT), released every Thursday, show that 64 people with the virus were being treated at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
That's a fall from 70 last week (August 26). That figure was 18 at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust - a rise from 13 the previous week.
Here are the latest figures. The number in brackets is the previous week's figure:
Airedale NHS Foundation Trust - 18 (13)
Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - 64 (70)
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust - 66 (64)
Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust- 11 (10)
The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust - 95 (91)
The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust - 58 (80)
WYAAT said that since the end of May, when there were 42 Covid-19 patients across the six hospital trusts, the latest figures show there are 312 people receiving treatment across hospitals in the region. Forty of those are currently in intensive care units.
Those numbers have fallen from August 26, when 328 people were receiving treatment across the WYAAT hospitals, with 48 in intensive care units.
