NO further Covid-19-related hospital deaths have been reported over the last three days in Bradford hospitals.

According to the latest NHS figures, no further deaths were reported by either Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust or Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, between February 19 and 21.

The total number of reported hospital deaths in the Bradford district remains at 1,302 - 830 at Bradford Teaching Hospitals; 326 at Airedale and two at Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust.

Nationally, a further 162 patients who tested positive for Covid-19 have died over the same three-day period. 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."
