thedailyecho--2020-05-01--Coronavirus: Five more people have died across Hampshire in last 24 hours

THE number of Hampshire deaths of those who tested positive for coronavirus has increased by five in the last 24 @ @ @ @ @ the NHS show that 475 people across Hampshire have lost their lives after becoming infected @ @ @ @ @ from 470 deaths yesterday .
At UHS , 144 people have died under their care @ @ @ @ @ since yesterday .
While 127 people have lost their lives at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation @ @ @ @ @ in 24 hours .
The trust handles Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester , Andover @ @ @ @ @ and North Hampshire Hospital and Alton Community Hospital .
At Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust @ @ @ @ @ after contracting the virus , up by one since yesterday .
A total of 15 @ @ @ @ @ Health NHS Foundation Trust , with no rise in the last 24 hours .

In response, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said it was an “incredible achievement”.
Speaking at the daily Downing Street press briefing, Mr Hancock said 122,347 tests were performed in the 24 hours up to 9am on Friday, adding that testing would help “unlock” the lockdown.
It comes as doubts were cast over how the tests have been counted.
Guidance on the official Government website appears to have changed in the days before the testing deadline.
In the days prior to April 28, there was no reference to how tests were counted.
But on April 28, the guidance said the count included: “(i) test conducted with a result and (ii) test posted to an individual at home.”
On April 30, the page stated that the number of tests includes “tests processed through our labs (and) tests sent to individuals at home or to satellite testing locations”.
Shadow health minister Justin Madders said: “We want the Government’s test, isolate and trace strategy to succeed and welcomed expanding who was eligible to get a test, but counting a test put in the post is not the same as a conducted test and getting results.
“Ministers should focus on making sure these tests are administered effectively rather than moving the goalposts to hit their own arbitrary target.”
It comes after the number of Hampshire deaths of those who tested positive for coronavirus increased by five in 24 hours, as of Friday.
Figures released by the NHS show that 475 people across Hampshire have lost their lives after becoming infected with the virus - up from 470 deaths the previous day.
Statistics cover University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS), Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust and Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
At UHS, 144 people have died under their care, an increase of two since the day before.
While 127 people have lost their lives at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, up by two in 24 hours.
The trust handles Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, Andover War Memorial Hospital, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital and Alton Community Hospital.
At Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, 189 people have died after contracting the virus.
This has gone up by one since the previous day.
A total of 15 people have died at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, with no rise in the last 24 hours.

An application to turn an office block on High Street into a restaurant and cafe has been submitted to Southampton City Council.
The office block, which is currently used by Prince’s Trust Charity as an office and drop-in centre, would have the ground floor and basement transformed to accommodate the restaurant.
The proposals submitted to the council have given no insight into what the restaurant will be.
The change of use would involve a few changes to the external appearance of the building, and a new mechanical extract ventilation duct would be located towards the rear of the building.
The plans are to include small ‘lightwells’ to the rear of the building to allow natural light and ventilation of the existing basement.
There would also be a new internal stair is proposed to make the unit self-contained with the existing stair located in the existing main entrance to be blocked up.
Replacement shop fronts and windows in black aluminium to match the existing are also included as part of the application along with new entrance doors located on the west side of the building.
The proposals also detail plans for a relocated and secure storage area for bicycles.
