More than one million people in the UK have received both doses of Covid-19 vaccine, according to data published by the health agencies of the four nations.

Public Health England said a further 236 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of Friday.

A total of 21,358,815 people have now received the first dose of a vaccine.

The publication of the full data for today has been delayed “owing to a delay in the submission of cases data for England to PHE”, according to a message on the Government’s dashboard.

On Friday Matt Hancock said the missing person who tested positive for the Manaus variant of coronavirus has been found.

The health minister said the person had stayed at home and there was no evidence of onwards transmission.

Officials have been hunting for the unknown individual after cases of the P1 variant of concern were detected in the UK.

Six cases of the variant, first identified in the Brazilian city of Manaus, have been found – three in Scotland and three in England.
