Eight new coronavirus deaths were recorded at Frimley Health Trust in a 24-hour period at the start of the week, official figures show.

NHS England figures show 530 people had died in hospital at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust as of 5pm on Monday (December 28).

That was an increase of eight compared to Sunday, when there were 522.

Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.

This means some of the deaths that were first recorded in the latest period may actually have taken place days earlier.

NHS England guidance states: "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."

Only deaths that occur in hospitals where the patient has tested positive for Covid-19 are recorded, with deaths in the community excluded, such as those in care homes.
