The number of people who died after testing positive for coronavirus in hospitals in the Liverpool City region is now just under 900.
The total heartbreaking now stands at 897, after another nine deaths were recorded in the region’s hospitals today.
Unfortunately, in reality, the number of deaths in our part of the country will be much higher than that number, taking into account those who died at home or in nursing homes.
As in many places, Merseyside has had a large number of Covid-19-overwhelmed care homes and has experienced multiple tragedies.

While the near 900 milestone is grim, today’s figures continue the suggestion that we have overcome the worst of this phase of the epidemic, with figures that remain consistently low compared to recent weeks.
Today’s figures
After a rare day without deaths yesterday, Liverpool hospitals have recorded another four deaths in today’s NHS update.
Three of them were in the city’s main University Trust and one was in the heart and Liverpool Chest Trust.
The current complete Liverpool Trusts figures are as follows:
Liverpool University Hospitals Teaching Trust – 328
Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital Trust – 17
The Walton Center NHS Trust – 6
Alder Hey Children’s Hospital – 4 (all adults)
Mersey Care Mental Health NHS Trust – 3
Four additional deaths were reported today at the St. Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust, meaning 161 Covid-19 patients have died at St Helens Hospital or Whiston Hospital.
The only other Trust registering a fatality today is Halton and Warrington, where one more death causes a total of 91.
This means that the Wirral NHS Trust and the Southport and Ormskirk Trust have reported no new deaths and remain at a total of 169 and 118 in total.
National table
Another 436 people have died after testing positive for coronavirus in hospitals in the United Kingdom, being the most affected country in Europe.
Today NHS England has recorded an additional 366 deaths, with Scotland reporting 44 and 26 in Wales.
These totals are for hospitals only, and the numbers will be higher when care homes and community deaths are included.
The daily number of deaths rose from 229 on Monday to 358 on Sunday, but a sharp increase was expected because many weekend deaths are not reported until Tuesday at the earliest.
The additional deaths come after it was revealed today that new data means the UK now has the second-highest number of deaths in the world behind the United States and the worst in Europe.
Prior to today’s update, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said 29,710 people had died of coronaviruses in England and Wales as of April 24, approximately 35% more than the figure reported by the Department of Health that day.
