There are no official figures on recovery rates at this stage.
Nationally, figures released this evening show the total number of coronavirus-related deaths is 28,446.
This is taking into account all parts of the community including care homes.
As the BBC reported on Wednesday (29 April), these updated daily figures (figures which include care homes coronavirus-related deaths) do not necessarily provide a full picture of what has happened so far because of the lack of testing in the community in the early days.
As more testing is rolled out, the daily figures from now on will provide a more accurate picture of what is happening than has been the case previously.
YourThurrock’s thoughts are with all of those affected by the coronavirus.
