The number of people with coronavirus to die in Sheffield hospitals remains at 284.

The total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England is 28,292, according to the latest NHS figures released on June 20.

Patients were aged between 41 and 95 years old. One patient, aged 68, had no known underlying health conditions.

Elsewhere in South Yorkshire there has been 214 deaths in Doncaster, up by one from yesterday. In Barnsley there have been no more deaths, with the figure remaining at 137. The Rotherham death toll has risen by one to 186.

The figures given by NHS England every day do not include deaths in care homes, so the actual number of deaths is likely to be more than the figure recorded.
