The death toll from coronavirus in the UK has reached 31,587, as 346 more fatalities were reported.
The updated toll includes deaths in hospitals and in care homes.
The UK hospital death toll earlier today hit 26,345 after 252 more people were recorded as dying from the virus in the last 24 hours.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced the figures at today’s daily Downing Street coronavirus press briefing.
He said 11,809 people are currently in the UK hospitals, down from 12,284 yesterday. The figure is 17% down since the same time last week.
In England, 207 more people died in hospital, while Scotland suffered 36 more deaths.

In Wales, the death toll increased by nine and Northern Ireland is yet to release its latest figures.
This is the second lowest rise in UK hospital deaths in six weeks.

NHS England's announcement of 202 new deaths brings the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 22,972.
Of the 207 new deaths announced today, 47 occurred on May 8, 90 occurred on May 7 and 23 occurred on May 6
The figures also show 23 of the new deaths took place between May 1 and May 5, 19 took place in April, while the remaining five deaths occurred in March, with the earliest new death taking place on March 12.
NHS England releases updated figures each day showing the dates of every coronavirus-related death in hospitals in England, often including previously uncounted deaths that took place several days or even weeks ago.

This is because of the time it takes for deaths to be confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19, for post-mortem examinations to be processed and for data from the tests to be validated.
The figures published today by NHS England show April 8 continues to have the highest number for the most hospital deaths occurring on a single day, with a current total of 884.
Of the 22,972 confirmed reported deaths so far in hospitals in England of people who tested positive for Covid-19, 12,060 (52%) have been people aged 80 and over while 8,905 (39%) were 60-79.

Today's figures from NHS England show that a further 3,610 hospital patients who had tested positive for Covid-19 died between April 25 and May 8 - which, together with the total figure of 33,021 registered deaths, suggests the overall death toll for the UK has now passed 36,500.
Today, the number of people infected with coronavirus across the globe passed four million.
Worldometers, a website which collates global statistics, showed the grim milestone was passed today.
The total number of cases sat at 4,015,107 at time of writing, while the death toll is a grim 276,268.

The world's most powerful country also has the highest overall cases, with 1,322,163 reported.

The second highest reported death toll is in the UK, with 31,241 people dying from 211,364 cases.
This is the worst death toll in Europe but Spain and Italy have still reported more overall cases.
In Spain, 26,299 people have died from 260,117 cases.
Meanwhile in Italy, 30,201 people have died from 217,185 cases.
In China, where the outbreak began, authorities report 4,633 people have died from 82,887 cases.
There is doubt in some corners over whether China is reporting the full extent of its outbreak.
On Sunday, Boris Johnson is set to reveal the Government's "road map", setting out a plan on how restrictions will begin to be lifted.
The lockdown could be eased in three distinct 'phases' with some shops reopening first.
Small shops and outdoor workplaces would reopen in the first phase in early June, followed by large shopping centres and some offices in the second phase, according to the plan seen by The Times.
Ministers have already made clear that pubs, restaurants, hotels and leisure centres will be among the last to open - and the Times reports they will be in the final phase.
Downing Street and Treasury sources declined to confirm or deny the reports ahead of Johnson announcing a 'roadmap' out of lockdown on Sunday.
No10 suggested the UK plan won’t have set dates for each phase like have been announced elsewhere.
Boris Johnson’s spokesman said: “What we’ll have to do as we make changes is monitor the impact those changes are having upon the R rate in particular.
“And once we have that information, we’ll obviously be able to judge if and when we’re in a position to go further.”
The Prime Minister has told the public to keep their distance from each other "if you are leaving the house this weekend".
A post on the official Twitter account said: "If you are leaving the house this weekend you need to keep 2 metres apart from others."
The account was still highlighting the "stay home" messaging.
