More than three-quarters of all major hospital trusts in England are currently reporting fewer Covid-19 patients than at their second-wave peak, new analysis shows.
In some regions, such as eastern and south-east England, all but one trust has dropped below the level seen at the peak of the second wave of the virus.
The proportion of trusts still reporting a record number of Covid-19 patients is slightly higher in north-east and north-west England, however.
The analysis by the PA news agency found that of 140 acute hospital trusts which reported figures for January 26, 122 – or 87% – had fewer Covid-19 patients than at their second-wave peak.

Covid patients have been transferred to hospitals in Newcastle from over-stretched London intensive care units.
A small number, fewer than five, have been moved hundreds of miles from the south east, the BBC has been told.
Hospitals with the largest critical care capacity have been asked to take patients from other areas to ease pressures.
However, NHS England has denied that patients have been transferred to Newcastle from London.
It is not uncommon for patients to be transferred from one busy hospital to another within the region, but moving the sick from out of their areas is unusual.
