The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Trust was caring for one coronavirus patient in hospital as of Tuesday, figures show.

NHS England data shows the number of people being treated in hospital for Covid-19 by 8am on July 19 was down from two on the same day the previous week.

There were no beds occupied by Covid-19 patients four weeks ago in The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Across England there were 13,837 people in hospital with Covid as of July 19, with 318 of them in mechanical ventilation beds.

The number of Covid-19 patients hospitalised nationally has more than doubled in the last four weeks, as has the number on mechanical ventilators.

The figures also show that one new Covid patient was admitted to hospital in The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in the week to July 17. This was the same number as in the previous seven days.
