There have been two further coronavirus deaths in hospitals at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole hospitals trust - according to the latest NHS figures.
That's according to the latest NHS figures yesterday - which show 370 more coronavirus cases have been confirmed across Lincolnshire - down 41 per cent compared to last Tuesday.
53 were confirmed in North Lincolnshire and 57 in North East Lincolnshire.
Health bosses in the county are continuing to encourage people to get the vaccine - particularly students and young people.
Nationally on Tuesday, cases increased by 23,511 to 5,745,526 while deaths rose by 131 to 129,303.
Lincolnshire’s coronavirus numbers are low, and suggest natural vaccine immunity could be increasing, health bosses have said. But they warned there was a long way to go, and encouraged students and young people to get the vaccine.
According to the latest government report, despite infection rates continuing to rise, case numbers are lower than previously and the region’s authorities have mostly moved down the national tables for the past seven days.
North East Lincolnshire has remained sixth highest across England for new COVID cases, however, its infection rate has decreased from 960.7 last week to 908.7 this week.
Nationally, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has continued to urge caution after cases fell for the sixth day in a row.
“I’ve noticed, obviously, that we’re six days into some better figures. But it’s very very important that we don’t allow ourselves to run away with premature conclusions about this,” he said.
“Step 4 of the opening-up only took place a few days ago. People have got to remain very cautious, and that remains the approach of the government.”
