The UK's Covid-19 death toll is now more than 32,000 following a further 210 deaths.
The daily rise in coronavirus deaths in hospitals, care homes and the wider community is the lowest rise since March 26 when 183 people were recorded as dying of Covid-19. The death figures are correct up to 5pm on 10 May, officials say.
As of 9am May 11, there have been 1,921,770 tests, with 100,490 tests on 10 May, said the Department of Health. 1,400,107 people have been tested of which 223,060 tested positive.
The Department of Health figures are different to the ones reported earlier this afternoon which showed that 26,769 people have now died after testing positive for Covid-19 in UK hospitals alone.
However, both tallies paint a similarly desperate picture in which the UK is the country second worst affected by the deadly virus in the world after the USA.
The US has now seen more than 80,000 people die of Covid-19.
As the UK death toll continued to tick upwards Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed the nation last night during a special televised address.
He announced that the road out of the coronavirus lockdown would be a long one, before suggesting that people who could not work from home were now advised to go back into work if they could do so safely.
This afternoon the Prime Minister took to the House of Commons and praised ‘the indomitable spirit of Britain.”
He said the country had weathered the “kind of strain that will be remembered for generations” - “but so too will the response of the British people.”
The Prime Minister urged people to continue following the rules to keep new infections down, and gain control of the spread of the coronavirus.
Following his statement Mr Johnson came under heavy fire from Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party.
Sir Keir told the Commons the country needs "clarity" from the Government and quizzed the Prime Minister on both workplace safety and the lack of shared messaging between the four nations of the UK.
He said: "What the country needs at this time is clarity and reassurance and at the moment both are in pretty short supply and at the heart of the problem it seems is that the Prime Minister made a statement last night before the plan was written, or at least finalised."
He added: "There's not consensus either on messaging now or on policy between the UK Government and those in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland."
Details of how the UK will be lifted out of lockdown have been published in the 'Our Plan to Rebuild: The UK Government's Covid 19 recovery strategy'.
The Government document sets out the three-phase approach, starting this week with further lockdown loosening at the start of June and further changes potentially from 4 July.
Writing the foreword, Mr Johnson says: "It is not a quick return to 'normality.'
"Nor does it lay out an easy answer. And, inevitably, parts of this plan will adapt as we learn more about the virus.
"But it is a plan that should give the people of the United Kingdom hope.
"It is clear that the only feasible long-term solution lies with a vaccine or drug-based treatment."
