The number of people who have died in hospitals across England,
Scotland and Wales after contracting
Coronavirus has risen by 368 in 24 hours.
It is the UK’s lowest daily death toll in several weeks, coming just a day after the
UK surpassed 20,000 deaths on Saturday.
The increase consists of 336 in England, 18 in Scotland and 14 in Wales. Data from Northern
Ireland are yet to be published.
UK-wide figures from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) have not so far been released, so the total is taken from each nation’s individual reporting.
It brings the working total to 20,687.
But the government tally, when it is released, isunlikely to match this figure even with
Northern Ireland taken into account.
Here’s a quick primer on what all the different numbers mean and how to understand them.
NHS
England said a further 336 people have died in hospital after testing positive for coronavirus, bringing the total hospital deaths in England to 18,420.
The patients were aged between 28 and 100 and 22 of the 336 patients (aged between 41 and 94 years old) had no known underlying health conditions.
Their families have been informed.
According to the regional breakdown, 66 people died in the North East and Yorkshire, while 64 died in
London and 57 in the Midlands.
