Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust hospitals recorded two deaths on May 18. The figures which are released each day often include previously uncounted deaths that took place several days or even weeks ago.
This is because of the time it takes for deaths to be confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19, for post-mortem examinations to be processed, and for data from the tests to be validated. There are now 133 recorded local deaths.
