That's as of 8:15am this morning (Tuesday 10th November).
Compared to a week ago, there was just four at the hospital on the 3rd of November.
Just a day before that, two more patients were confirmed to have died, having tested positive for the virus.
That brought the total number of a fatalities to 59 since the pandemic began.
PREPARED FOR DIFFICULT WINTER
The Chief Executive of the Foundation Trust penned a letter to the general public, reassuring them that they are ready if another spike happens.
Stacey Hunter said that it was right that lockdown action was taken to reduce the spread of Covid-19.
The letter also reassures patients that services will run as normally as possible during the second wave.
