Figures today released by the NHS show one more patient who tested positive for coronavirus at Harrogate District Hospital has died. The death was recorded yesterday and brings the total number of hospital deaths in the district to 62.
A further 59 people, who tested positive for the covid-19 have died, according to the NHS. It brings the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 25,750.
However, the NHS warned that the Covid Patient Notification System did not operate between 0455 and 1500 yesterday due to "a connectivity issue experienced by an external supplier" which would affect the figures.
Patients were aged between 44 and 98 years old. 4 of the patients had no known underlying health condition.
Harrogate District Hospital has discharged a total of 104 patients after treatment for coronavirus since the start of the crisis. Outside the hospital, there have been 51 deaths from coronavirus in care homes in the district.
