These figures suggest a discharge rate of 59% for those admitted to the Trust's hospitals after testing positive.

As well as the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, the Trust also runs two hospitals outside Lancashire - Furness General Hospital, in Barrow, and Westmorland General Hospital, in Kendal - so it is not possible to say how many of the deaths were in Lancashire.

There have now been 397 deaths across Lancashire, with 2,572 people testing positive across the county.
