Yorkshire and the Humber saw the highest weekly increase in England - for coronavirus hospitalisations - in the week to last Sunday.

With the latest Office for National Statistics data showing an increase in most regions.

However, more patients were admitted with Covid-19 in the North East - than anywhere else.

East of England and the South East were the only regions with a slight decrease.

And whilst hospital admissions continue to be higher among older age groups, it seems to be lower than the mid-Jan peak seen earlier in the year.
