The number of lives lost to Covid-19 in UK hospitals has risen by 15 in 24 hours. All the deaths were reported in England, with no fatalities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Those who died were between 72 and 96. Due to a lag in reporting over the weekend, it is likely that the number of coronavirus patients to die was higher.
Yesterday 39 deaths were announced in UK hospitals. A week ago 22 hospital deaths were confirmed, while two weeks ago, on June 28, that figure was 21.
NHS England has released a regional breakdown showing where the fatalities occurred: East of England - 4 London - 1 Midlands - 1 North East & Yorkshire - 1 North West - 0 South East - 7 South West - 1 It comes as a leaked report listed 20 areas in England
