Britain’s COVID-19 Death Toll Rises To 4,313 After 708 Die In One Day

A total of 4,313 people have died in hospital after testing positive for coronavirus in the UK as of 5 pm on Friday, the Department of Health said.

It is an increase of 708 from 3,605 the day before.

On Saturday, the Government announced low-risk prisoners with less than two months left to serve could be considered for early release to help stop the spread of the virus.

There are fears this weekend the warmer weather will lead to people leaving lockdown. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and health secretary Matt Hancock both ordered people to stay indoors.
