Nottinghamshire death toll remains the same as coronavirus claims no more lives since last figures released

The disease claimed no more lives, the figures released today (April 28) show.

The number of people who have died at the trust after testing positive remains at 87, with 1008 confirmed cases.

Sherwood Forest Hospitals runs King’s Mill Hospital, in Sutton, and Mansfield Community Hospital.

Meanwhile, NHS England announced that a further 552 people, who tested positive for the Coronavirus (Covid-19) have died, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals nationwide to 19,301.

Patients were aged between 31 and 99 years old. 38 of the 552 patients (aged between 36 and 99 years old) had no known underlying health condition.

Death tolls are expected to be higher than official figures as deaths in care homes and elsewhere in the community are not included in the daily updates.
