Five coronavirus deaths have been recorded at the Buckinghamshire Trust over the weekend, the latest official figures show.

NHS England figures show 53 people had died in hospital at the Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust as of 5pm on Sunday (19 April).

That was an increase of five compared to Friday, when there were 48.

They were among 1,614 deaths recorded across the South East.

Of the 24 trusts across the South East, the Buckinghamshire Healthcare trust has the 15th highest death toll.

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 last 24 hours 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.

Across England, the death toll hit 14,829 on Sunday, up from 13,918.

Separate figures from the Department of Health and Social Care show 120,067 people had tested positive for Covid-19 across the UK as of 9am on Sunday, up from 108,692 on Friday
