A total of 31 new coronavirus cases were confirmed across Sunderland (Sunday) and six people sadly died at the city’s NHS hospital trust after testing positive for Covid-19.

Gavin McGill: Why do we have to go through the same thing everytime the Echo shares the numbers. Covid may not be the cause of death but will have had a contributing factor in a person's death. My heart goes out to those who have lost love one's to this virus and I wish some people would have some respect.

Marion Jolliff: There will be a lot more yet.

Went to Morrisons Seaburn shopping on 21/2/21. The beach had quite, a few people on.

The promenade was really busy. Nobody was wearing a mask. Social distance could not be observed it was that busy. Not a policeman in sight to disperse the crowds. My heartfelt sorrow goes out to the family of these 6 people. I've been there I know how it feels. Losing a loved one my brother. It's devastating. People need to take better precautions when out and about

Isabel Bateman: I’ve not had a cuddle from my grandchildren for many months thanks to this awful disease, but to lose someone is heartbreaking

Cliff Ramsay Ftm:

Some people just don't understand I lost a brother in law and brother to covid . Both would have still been here had they not caught it . And that's since Christmas.

Donna Cooper Bourne: Just be careful hun PLEASE,,, Also All my family who live there, Please God Keep them All Safe,

Jean Thurlbeck: So sad,thoughts are with their families x

Susie Rooks: Very sad my thoughts and prayers go out to all the families

Beverley Jayne: So why are Sunderland and South Tyneside losing so many when our neighbours aren't.
