BREAKING: UK COVID-19 Death Toll Increases To 828 In England Alone In One Day

CORONAVIRUS deaths in the UK have passed the 7,000 barriers after 828 victims were reported in England alone on the deadliest day yet.

NHS England confirmed the latest victims were aged between 22 and 103 – including a 35-year-old with no underlying health conditions.

A further 45 coronavirus victims had no previous medical issues – with England’s death toll now at 6,483.

The Department of Health has not yet released figures for all of Britain – so the death toll will rise again later today.

And the figure is expected to be high as yesterday’s UK total death toll of 6,159 did not include Manchester, Leeds or Northern Ireland.

In Scotland today, 70 more people have died – bringing the total to 366.

Wales today suffered 33 more deaths – with their total deaths now on 245.

While five further people have died in Northern Ireland – bringing their total number of deaths to 78.

This already brings the UK total to more than 7,000 – even without the Department of Health numbers.

The grim death toll had dropped for two days running on Sunday and Monday – but this was the same pattern as last Monday suggesting a possible lag in deaths recorded over the weekend.

Cases yesterday fell to their lowest level this month – with the government’s chief scientific adviser explaining the UK may now see the curve start to flatten.

But the number of people dying from the disease has continued to rise – with the equivalent of one Brit falling victim to the bug every two minutes.
