Hide AdToday's figure for the number of positive Covid-19 tests at the hospital is 286. This is a rise of 13 from yesterday (Sunday). But again, this does not reveal the true extent of the virus in the community.
Nationally, the total number of confirmed cases is 88,621. Some 717 people have died since yesterday, bringing the total UK death toll to 11,329.
Despite government efforts to increase the number of people tested for coronavirus, testing fell from 18,000 tests on Saturday to 14,506 on Sunday.
