The UK's coronavirus death toll has risen by 539, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has announced.
It brings the confirmed number of deaths linked to the virus to 30,615.
Health authorities earlier announced that a further 464 Covid-19 patients had died in hospitals - 383 in England, 18 in Wales, four in Northern Ireland and 59 in Scotland.
In the 24 hours up to 9am this morning, 86,583 tests were carried out - still well below the 100,000 target the government set for the end of last month.
A further 5,614 people tested positive for the virus.
Over the last week the number of people with Covid-19 in UK hospitals has fallen from 15,100 to 12,692 - a decrease of 16%, the government announced.
The highest number is in the North West.
Today's death toll is lower than the 649 confirmed during yesterday's Downing Street briefing.
Mr Raab said: "I know the death toll has been sobering for all of us."
He also said the "R" level is between 0.5 and 0.9.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found 82% of people said they had only had only left their homes for the permitted reasons in the last week.
And 92% have avoided contact with older or vulnerable people, who have been identified at highest risk.
The data, from ONS' Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (OPN), also found that 44% of those in employment had worked from home in the past seven days.
This compares to 12% the same week last year.
Earlier today Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon urged against lifting the lockdown too quickly.
Boris Johnson is set to address the nation on Sunday to reveal the next stages in the government plan.
But Brits were today warned that measures remain in place over the long weekend.
Dr Robin Howe, from Public Health Wales, said: "With the upcoming May Day Bank Holiday, Public Health Wales reminds the public to continue to adhere to Welsh Government's restrictions on non-essential travel, caravan and campsites, hotels, B&Bs and holiday accommodations, as well as the limited access to our national parks.
"We also remind owners of second homes in Wales to act responsibly and to avoid travelling to these homes until restrictions have been lifted."
Over the past week the number of daily deaths across the UK in and out of hospitals has not followed an obvious trend.
Yesterday 649 people lost their lives to Covid-19, a small decrease compared to the 693 the day before.
Monday and Sunday were hovering either side of the 300 deaths mark however, representing the reporting lag experienced at the weekend.
Startling new figures revealed black people in the UK are four times more likely to die from coronavirus than white men and women.
People of Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Chinese and mixed ethnicities are also at significantly greater risk of dying from Covid-19 than white people, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
