The number of coronavirus hospital deaths in the country has risen by 469 – with 370 of these in England.
Figures released by NHS England show a regional breakdown of where the most recent fatalities happened, with the North East and Yorkshire seeing the highest number.
North East and Yorkshire suffered 89 fatalities, followed by North West with 64 and the Midlands at 63.
The East of England and London both had 51.
The South East recorded 32, and the lowest was the South West with 20 deaths.
NHS England said the latest victims were aged between 38 and 100, and 25 - the youngest a 41-year-old - had no known underlying health conditions.
However these deaths do not include those who died in care homes, hospices and private addresses, which will be confirmed by the Department of Health later today.
Deaths in London hospitals have been rapidly declining, with 51 recorded today. This is compared to 71 yesterday (Friday) and 86 on the Thursday, April 31.
Just a week ago, London recorded 116 deaths.
Research by the Office of National Statistics shows the rate of fatalities in poorer areas is double that of more affluent areas.
An interactive map released by the ONS yesterday showed parts of London, the Midlands and the North East are among the areas with the highest Covid-19 mortality rates.
In London 85.7 deaths per 100,000 persons was linked to Covid-19.
Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester, as well as Hertsmere, Salford, Watford, Middlesbrough, Luton, Sandwell and Slough had rates above 65 deaths per 100,000 people.
Nick Stripe, head of health analysis at the ONS said: “People living in more deprived areas have experienced Covid-19 mortality rates more than double those living in less deprived areas.
"General mortality rates are normally higher in more deprived areas, but so far Covid-19 appears to be taking them higher still.”
On Thursday Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the country had now passed its peak.
A 'comprehensive plan' is set to be published next week which will detail how schools will reopen and how the UK will get back to work.
