Three deaths were recorded on Saturday, April 25 and one the following day, Sunday, April 26.

It brings the total loss of life at KGH to 104.

Earlier this week on Monday and Tuesday, no new deaths were reported by KGH.

There is a lag between the date of death and reporting. NHS England say this can be because a positive test might come back days after the confirmation of death.
