The number of people whose coronavirus deaths have been recorded in the UK in the past day appears to be the lowest since March.
Across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, 360 people have died of Covid-19.
During the past 24 hours there have been 329 coronavirus deaths recorded in England, with people aged between 29 and 100 losing their lives. Of those 22, including the youngest, had no underlying health conditions.
London had the most deaths (87), followed by the Midlands (55), the North East and Yorkshire (55), the North West (41), the South East (38), the East of England (34) and the South West (19).
In Wales there are 9,280 confirmed cases – a 203 rise compared to yesterday – and a total of 796 people have now died of the coronavirus, which is an increase of eight in 24 hours.
It was reported earlier today that 13 more people have died from coronavirus in Scotland, bringing the country’s overall death toll to 1,262.
