200 coronavirus related deaths at Cornwall's main hospitals since pandemic began
The total number of deaths at all hospitals across the Duchy now stands at 261
The number of coronavirus related deaths recorded at Cornwall's main hospitals has reached 200.
A further two have been confirmed at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals' Trust over the weekend.
The total across all the Duchy's hospitals now stands at 261 since the start of the pandemic.
"Cases are only included in the data when the positive COVID-19 test result is received, or death certificate confirmed with COVID-19 mentioned.
"This results in a lag between a given date of death and exhaustive daily death figures for that day.
"These figures will be updated at 2pm each day and include confirmed death cases reported at 4pm the previous day.
"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.
"These figures do not include deaths outside hospital, such as those in care homes. This approach makes it possible to compile deaths data on a daily basis using up to date figures".
