THE number of Covid patients being treated at York and Scarborough hospitals has soared to 75 - as four more have died.
NHS England said today that a total of 675 patients with Covid-19 at the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust had now died, four more than last Friday.
The trust said it was now treating 75 Covid inpatients, up from 62 last Friday.
However, this was still considerably lower than during the peak of last winter's wave, when there were 242 Covid patients at the two hospitals.
The trust said today that of the current 75 inpatients, four were in intensive care.
It said the others were still being treated on two wards at York and one at Scarborough.
It added that a total of 2,750 Covid patients had been treated and discharged since the start of the pandemic in March last year.
