The coronavirus death toll has risen
Three more coronavirus patients have died in the Borders, bringing the total to 14.
NHS Borders issued an update at 1.57pm today (April 3).
It came after a previous statement, sent by the health board earlier today, contained incorrect figures due to an IT glitch.
In the updated statement, the health authority said there are 34 virus patients being treated across hospitals in the region, with 20 suspected cases awaiting results.
A total of seven patients are being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Meanwhile, the number of patients who have recovered and been discharged now stands at 11.
