The number of people in hospital in the South West has risen to 942 from 759, while there are currently 65 patients in mechanical ventilation beds, up from 58 as of last Friday.

NHS England figures show that as of last Tuesday morning, there were 265 patients across Devon and Cornwall, in hospital after a positive Covid-19 test.

Of them, there were:

- 106 in the Royal Devon and Exeter (up from 69)

- 90 in Derriford Hospital in Plymouth (76)

- 18 in North Devon District Hospital (down from 19)

- 39 in Torbay Hospital (down from 43)

- Four in Cornish Partnership Trust hospitals (3)

- Six at the Royal Cornwall Hospital (4)

- Two beds in Livewell SouthWest facilities in Plymouth (4)

There are 19 patients in Mechanical Ventilation beds, up from 18, with:

- One patient in Torbay Hospital

- Three at the RD&E

- Eight in Derriford Hospital

- Seven in North Devon District Hospital

The figures show the amount of patients in hospital following a positive COVID-19 test who are currently occupying a bed.

But not every patient would necessarily have been admitted to hospital due to COVID-19, with a number of patients either contracting the virus inside the hospital, or being admitted for unrelated reasons but subsequently testing positive asymptotically when given routine tests.

It comes as Steve Brown, Devon's Director of Public Health has issued a new plea to residents, said: "There is cause for optimism, without doubt. The challenge to us all – my plea to you – is that we do not let our enthusiasm to return to normal actually set us further back."
