The number of people being treated at Suffolk and north Essex hospitals for coronavirus has continued to decrease in the past week, according to new figures.
The latest data, released by NHS England today, shows the number of people being treated by the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust - which runs Ipswich and Colchester hospitals - dropped by almost 29% in the last week.
On March 23, the trust had 41 Covid patients at its hospitals, compared to 29 on March 30.
There was also a very slight increase at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, which was treating four coronavirus patients on March 30 - up from two patients on March 23.
