A TOTAL of 10 new coronavirus deaths have been recorded across England, with no new deaths at the Wye Valley NHS Trust, latest figures show.

NHS England data shows the most recent coronavirus-related death occured on July 15, with the current toll standing at 57 as of 4pm on Tuesday (July 21).

Across the midlands, three new deaths were recorded, taking the region's total deaths to 5,836 with a total of 10 new deaths recorded across England, bringing the number to 29,214.

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 last 24 hours 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.
