No further coronavirus deaths at Harrogate District Hospital
There have been no further deaths in patients with Covid-19 at Harrogate District Hospital, according to figures released today.
The last confirmed death was on Monday, May 4th, meaning there have been six days with zero deaths reported at the hospital.
The numbers released by NHS England today cover deaths confirmed up to yesterday evening. However, it can take several days for deaths to be confirmed, especially over weekends and bank holidays, so that data could still change over the coming week.
Nationally, NHS England said there have been 209 deaths in patients aged between 40 and 99. Of those, 12 patients aged between 55 and 97 had no known underlying health conditions.
Statistics released by the NHS only cover patients who died in hospitals. As well as the 51 patients who have died to date at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, there were 39 deaths in the community, including care homes, up to April 24th.
The hospital confirmed on Thursday that it had discharged 82 patients after treatment for coronavirus.
