How many people in the region are actually still in hospital with Covid? The figures may surprise you
It's definitely something most of us want to forget, but Covid-19 is actually still about, and believe it or not the virus is still putting some people in hospital.
But how many exactly?
Well, new NHS data shows that across the whole of England there were 2,508 people in hospital with Covid by 8am on August 20.
That's up 48 on the previous week. And nationally, the number of hospital patients with Covid-19 has more than doubled in the last month or so.
