Two Further Coronavirus Related Deaths Recorded At St Mary's

Two further deaths of people who have tested positive for coronavirus have been recorded at St Mary's Hospital.

According to the latest data from the NHS, the total number of people who have died with coronavirus in hospital on the Island now stands at 106.

Both deaths were officially recorded on Friday, but a lag in the data means that they were only announced today.

The figure includes the deaths of patients who have died in hospital and either tested positive for COVID-19 or where no positive test result was received for COVID-19, but COVID-19 was mentioned on their death certificate.

Combined with the 54 people who have died in the community away from hospital, the Island's coronavirus death toll now stands at 160.

An update on the number of coronavirus cases on the Island is expected at around 4pm.
