just to update you on the figures that
we've been bringing you we have
mentioned some of that in the headlines
but just to bring you the latest figures
which have come through from the
Department of Health in the last 15
minutes or so
arise sadly and inevitably on the day
before so to bring you just to remind
you 2,352 patients have died in hospital
that is a uk-wide figure
so that's uk-wide more than 2300 after
testing positive for corona virus now
those figures to remind you are accurate
as at 5 o'clock yesterday evening so
there's a slight lag but those are how
they calculate the figures that's the
latest from at the Department of Health
in terms of the rise just to try to put
into some context that figure that we
gave you in the headline it is up by 563
on the day before so that is the context
they're up by 563 to try to give you
figures on testing as well the
Department of Health saying that it's
getting close to 150 250 3,000 and very
nearly very nearly 150 3,000 people have
been tested again that figure is up
until 9 o'clock this morning so that's
some fairly up-to-date figure but as of
9 o'clock this morning very nearly 150
3,000 people have been tested and it's
approaching 29 and a half thousand who
have tested positive so those are the
latest details
the figures they're released always
around this time by the Department of
Health
