The latest figures show that two more people have died at United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust (ULHT) hospitals.

The death figure for ULHT now stands at 139 - up from 137.

There has been no change in death figures at NLAG hospitals.

Tuesday saw a 14 day streak without coronavirus-related deaths brought to an end with two local fatalities - one at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) and one at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG).

Tuesday’s deaths were the first reported rise since June 8.

However, health bosses say the last time the figure increased on their system was on May 29 – another 10 days prior.

The NHS figures often include deaths from earlier dates that have just been confirmed as coronavirus related.
