Patients were admitted to hospital with coronavirus more than 1.1 million times between March 2020 and 5 May 2023 across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
These were people who tested positive up to two weeks before arriving at hospital, or while being treated.
In Wales the figures were counted differently, with about 43,000 admissions of those who either had, or were suspected to have, the virus.
The number of patients in hospital with coronavirus peaked in the week to 20 January 2021, at more than 38,000 people.
