Meanwhile in Darlington, the town recorded two further deaths in April - notably lower than figures recorded in March with seven deaths.

It was a similar situation on Teesside, where ten deaths were recorded across Hartlepool, Stockton, Middlesbrough and Redcar - compared to 43 in March. 

All other parts of the region recorded notable decreases in deaths attributed to the Covid pandemic - a sign that the vaccine and restrictions are working.

In England and Wales, the Office for National Statistics have been recording deaths where Covid has been mentioned on an individual's death certificate.

Those deaths have either been caused by Covid or where the virus has been deemed a 'contributing factor' in someone's death.

But to give you the latest picture of how the virus has affected your area, we've analysed and published the wards of every Covid-related death in our region.

All deaths include fatalities that have taken place in hospitals, care homes, at home, communal settings and 'elsewhere.'
