On Tuesday the Prime Minister warned new coronavirus restrictions could last for six months.
Office staff have been advised to work from home, a 10pm curfew will be imposed on pubs and restaurants and there will be wider use of face masks.
Boris Johnson said that the new curbs could continue well beyond Christmas and New Year “unless we palpably make progress” in controlling the spread of the virus.
The Prime Minister also announced tougher enforcement measures, with businesses facing fines or closure for failing to comply with coronavirus rules, and people facing £200 penalties for failing to wear masks where required or breaching the so-called “rule of six”.
Each day the NHS in England publishes the number of deaths recorded by each hospital trust in the last 24-hour period.
These are deaths where the person had tested positive for the virus or where COVID-19 was mentioned on their death certificate.
NHS England's daily figures sometimes include previously uncounted deaths and they do not include deaths in care homes or community settings.
