Two new coronavirus-related deaths recorded at hospital in Cornwall
It brings the total number here over the past week to four
Two new coronavirus deaths have been recorded at Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust in the latest 24-hour period, the latest official figures show.
NHS England figures show 210 people had died in hospital at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust as of 5pm on Monday (July 12).
That was an increase of two compared to Sunday, when there were 208.
It means there have been four deaths in the past week, up from two the previous week.
The victims were among 4,540 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.
