80 more people have died with Covid-19 in UK hospitals

The UK has recorded its lowest Saturday death toll in hospitals from coronavirus since lockdown began.

A total of 80 more deaths have been reported over the last day, with 67 in England, five in Scotland, six in Wales and two in Northern Ireland.

It comes as China has reimposed a coronavirus lockdown on parts of Beijing over fears of a second wave of the disease in the country.

Multiple people linked to a food market have tested positive for the disease in the Chinese city, with some districts on a "wartime footing".

Earlier the Queen's official birthday was marked with a socially distanced Trooping the Colour in Windsor.

And today marks the start of social support 'bubbles' being allowed in England and Northern Ireland for those living alone to see one other household exclusively without observing social distancing.

But, experts from the SAGE advisory group to the government have previously raised concerns about allowing these bubbles to form, saying they could have "significant unwanted effects" unless done so with caution.

Meanwhile, the UK no longer has the world's second largest death toll after Brazil surpassed it overnight.

And pubs and restaurants could reportedly be advised to ban shouting and singing among a raft of potential measures that may enable the hotly-debated two-metre social distancing rule to be dropped.
