The number of people who have been admitted with COVID-19 or discharged from hospital after recovering from COVID-19 is not currently available or published in the format requested.

Public Health England publishes the hospital admission rate for England in the National COVID-19 surveillance reports. However, this does not include information on discharged and recovered patients. The surveillance reports are available to view at the following link:
