32 people have now sadly died with COVID-19 at St Mary’s Hospital, according to figures released this afternoon (Tuesday).
NHS England say that the latest victim of the deadly virus passed away in the Isle of Wight’s only hospital yesterday (Monday). The death toll previously stood at 31 as of Monday.
Across the Island, a total of 46 people have now died from COVID-19. ONS figures show that 14 people have died outside of the hospital environment including 10 in care homes, 3 at home and 1 at Mountbatten Hospice.
25 people have now recovered from coronavirus according to the Isle of Wight NHS Trust – but this number has hardly moved in the past 2 weeks. It is hoped that there will be an increase in the Trust’s next statement.
This graph, produced by Island Echo, shows that there has been somewhat of a levelling of cases and deaths in recent days.
As of 11th May, 154 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been recorded on the Isle of Wight. This number remains fairly low in comparison to other areas, even after the launch of a testing facility at Medina Leisure Centre car park and home swabbing through the NHSX app.
Another crap headline, what the hell is XX supposed to mean or am i missing something here.
Thank you IE for changing to a number we all understand, would help if the editor checked properly before going to press, seems to be happening a lot lately.
Wait a few weeks then these days will be something to wish for one suspects as lockdown eases.
