It is a rise of 739 on
yesterday’s tally – with data now combined to include deaths in hospitals, care
homes and the wider community, according to The Sun.
The death toll in the
United Kingdom arising from the deadly Coronavirus pandemic has hit 27,510.
This includes deaths in all
settings, such as hospitals and care homes.
The rise in deaths is
bigger than it was yesterday, when 674 fatalities were recorded across the UK.
Until this week, the
Government had only released the number of coronavirus deaths in hospitals each
day – excluding a significant proportion of the overall toll.
Earlier today, NHS England
announced a further 391 had died in English hospitals, bringing the overall
tally in England 20,483.
Patients were aged between
30 and 103 years old and included a healthy 43-year-old.
In Scotland, 1,515 people
have now died from the killer bug – up 40 since yesterday.
In Wales, 17 more deaths
were announced today, bringing the death toll there to 925, The Sun reports.
