The latest figure refers to all deaths of patients who have died within the 28 days of a confirmed coronavirus case. Earlier today it was announced that 13 coronavirus patients died in the UK's hospitals. Data released earlier today has identified six new hotspots in the UK where infection rates are highest - and suggested that more than 24,000 people are currently ill with symptomatic coronavirus. In Halton, one in 300 people are thought to have symptomatic coronavirus. More than three million people may have already had Covid-19 in England alone, scientists believe - far higher than previous estimates.
