Another seven coronavirus-related deaths are recorded at Cornish hospitals
Three were at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals' Trust and four were at the Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
Three new coronavirus deaths have been recorded at Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust in a 24-hour period, according to the latest official figures.
NHS England data shows 144 people had died in hospital at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust as of 5pm on Monday (February 1st).
That was an increase of three compared to Sunday, when there were 141.
It means there have been 16 deaths in the past week, down from 23 the previous week.
Also recorded, the first coronavirus deaths in five days at Cornwall Partnership Trust.
NHS England figures show 46 people had died in hospital at Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust as of 5pm on Monday (February 1st).
That was an increase of four compared to the 42 that had been recorded at the same point on Sunday, and the first deaths in five days.
The victims were among 3,589 deaths recorded across the south-west.
Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.
This means some of the deaths that were first recorded in the latest period may actually have taken place days earlier.
NHS England guidance states: "Confirmation of Covid-19 diagnosis, death notification and reporting in central figures can take up to several days and the hospitals providing the data are under significant operational pressure."
Only deaths that occur in hospitals where the patient has tested positive for Covid-19 are recorded, with deaths in the community excluded, such as those in care homes.
