The total deaths caused by coronavirus at the city’s hospital has increased by one since the last figures released on Thursday.

Caroline Walker, Chief Executive, for North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, said: “I can confirm that sadly, 241 patients being cared for in our Trust have passed away since we began reporting Covid-19-related deaths.

“There have been 96 at Hinchingbrooke Hospital and 145 at Peterborough City Hospital.

“All patients were aged 30 to 98 years old and had pre-existing health conditions. They had all tested positive for Covid-19.

“In the same period we have also successfully discharged 469 patients from our hospitals who were treated for Covid-19 and who are now recovering.
