For the third day in a row, none of Devon and Cornwall's hospitals have reported a confirmed coronavirus-related death.

Sunday's daily figures from NHS England show the total number of fatalities in the region's hospitals from COVID-19 remains unchanged, at 281.

A further 19 people have died in other parts of England and one in Wales, according to the latest data, which is released at around 2pm daily.

Scotland and Northern Ireland are yet to update their totals but the lowest increase in deaths on a Sunday until now has been 21, which was a week ago on June 28.

In a statement, NHS England said today: "A further 18 people, who tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19) have died, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 28,889.

"Patients were aged between 54 and 94 years old. All patients had known underlying health conditions. Their families have been informed."

The new deaths were announced as fears were raised in some quarters over a potential second spike of coronavirus cases.

Pubs, bars and restaurants reopened yesterday and Devon and Cornwall Police said they dealt with more than 1,000 incidents on so-called 'Super Saturday' as mass gatherings, fuelled by alcohol, led to isolated cases of disorder.

There were incidents reported in Plymouth, Newquay, Torquay, Barnstaple and Exeter, amongst others.

So far, 91 people have died in Cornwall's hospitals, 65 of whom passed away at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro.

A total of 190 have lost their lives in Devon's hospitals. Of those, 81 have been at Plymouth's Derriford Hospital, two at the city's Mount Gould Hospital, 47 at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, 39 at Torbay Hospital and 21 at North Devon District Hospital.
