There were 563 coronavirus-related deaths in the UK as of the 1 April, resulting in 2,353 deaths to date. On Tuesday 31 March there had been 381 deaths. The number of deaths recorded today is the highest since the outbreak began.

Yvonne Doyle, director of health protection for Public Health England, warned that the UK still needs to be careful.

She said: "It's still too early to say whether the plateau of hospital admissions has ended but we've now seen three days of increases in a row and again, we need to protect the NHS, and the best way to do that is to stay at home, to avoid catching the disease yourself and obviously avoid giving it to anyone else."
