A six-week-old baby is believed to be the youngest person to have died in the UK after testing positive for Covid-19.
The infant, who had a pre-existing health condition, was one of 332 victims announced by NHS England on Friday, bringing the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 22,765.
A statement said: "Patients were aged between six weeks and 103 years old. 22 of the 332 patients (aged between 40 and 96 years old) had no known underlying health condition."
NHS England releases updated figures each day showing the dates of every coronavirus-related death in hospitals in England, often including 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.
While it is much less likely for children to suffer severely from Covid-19 compared with adults, Friday's NHS England figures show 12 deaths so far for hospital patients aged 0 to 19-years-old who had tested positive.
Some nine, including the baby, had a pre-existing health condition, while three did not.
The youngest victim with no known underlying health issues was Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, who died in March aged just 13.
After his case emerged, one expert called for research into deaths which have occurred outside of patient groups believed to be at higher risk.
Dr Nathalie MacDermott, an academic clinical lecturer at King's College London, said at the time: "It is essential that we undertake research to determine why a proportion of deaths occur outside of the groups expected to succumb to infection as it may indicate an underlying genetic susceptibility.
"Determining if this is the case could help us to learn more about the interaction of the virus with the immune system and subsequently what further treatments may be suitable in patients with severe infection."
People of all ages with underlying health problems are believed to be at higher risk from the effects of the virus.
But a major British study of almost 17,000 patients with severe Covid-19 found that only a very small number of children fall seriously ill.
The study, which examined data from 16,749 Covid-19 patients in 166 hospitals between February 6 and April 18, found that under-18s accounted for less than 2% of the study sample and under-fives accounting for 0.8%.
