TWO further Covid-19-related hospital deaths were recorded in the Bradford district today, latest NHS figures reveal.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust reported the death of one patient, who passed away on Thursday, July 29.
One death was also reported by Airedale. The patient died on Friday, July 30.
It means the total number of Covid-related deaths in the district’s hospitals now stands at 927 - 656 at Bradford Teaching Hospitals; 269 at Airedale and two at Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust.
A total of 147 hospital deaths were reported across England, taking the total number of patients who tested positive for Covid-19 at the time of their death to 88,602.
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."
