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.
Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson also said he will remain in self-isolation, having tested positive for coronavirus last week. Elsewhere, a 36-year-old nurse who was put on a ventilator after contracting coronavirus has died in hospital.
