The UK death toll has increased to 45,233, after a further 114 people died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for coronavirus.
The confirmation that the daily death rate is once against in triple figures, comes on the day Boris Johnson announced further steps in his plan to ease lockdown in England.
Of the latest deaths, 16 took place in English hospitals, where the patients were aged between 47 and 93, all had known underlying conditions and had tested positive for coronavirus.
Another two deaths were reported with no positive Covid-19 test result.
