Seven people are being treated for the virus in midlands hospitals today.

The number of Covid patients in hospital has fallen to 99 - the first time it's been below 100 since last September.

The figure is a 10 per cent drop in 24 hours - while there are 36 patients in intensive care.

Seven people are being treated for the virus in midlands hospitals, one of whom is in a critical condition.
