Four more deaths in relation to the coronavirus have taken the towns death toll to 57.
The NHS said a total of 784 patients died in England with 150 of those passing on 17th April taking the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 13,918.
Patients were aged between 26 and 100 years old. 38 of the 784 patients (aged between 44 and 96 years old) had no known underlying health condition.
These figures will be updated at 2pm each day and include confirmed cases reported at 5pm the previous day. 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. This means that the totals reported at 5pm on each day may not include all deaths that occurred on that day or on recent prior days.
These figures do not include deaths outside hospital, such as those in care homes. This approach makes it possible to compile deaths data on a daily basis using up to date figures.
