The tally covers the number of deaths reported to health authorities in the last 24 hours within 28 days of a positive test in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The Government's dashboard also shows that even though zero deaths were reported on July 30, 10 deaths actually took place on that date. However hospitalisation numbers had lifted in recent days, and the UK reported more than 3,000 cases for a seventh day in a row on Tuesday, with 3,165 new infections confirmed. Despite the slowdown in deaths as the UK enters a period of hope in the summer months, leaders remain cautious.
