The Manchester Foundation Trust, which runs several of the city’s leading hospitals, including Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) and Wythenshawe Hospital, recorded eight new deaths.
While seven were registered with Salford Royal, two with Stockport NHS Foundation Trust which runs Stepping Hill Hospital and two with Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust.
