The latest figures show the UK has recorded a further 65 deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test, and a further 4,712 cases.

It is “really important” that everyone continues to practise social distancing and follows the rules in place, she added. You can read more about the levels of Covid-19 in the UK here.
