UK coronavirus death toll rises by 36 in past 24 hours

The number of people who have died after testing positive for coronavirus has now reached 43,550.

The figure is up by 36 from the day before at 43,514, and includes people that have died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community.

The Department of Health said: "As of 9am 28 June, there have been 9,195,132 tests, with 127,709 tests on 27 June. 311,151 people have tested positive.

"As of 5pm on 27 June, of those tested positive for coronavirus, across all settings, 43,550 have sadly died."

The daily figures are usually lower during the weekend than on a week-day due to a delay in records.

NHS England has today recorded another 18 deaths, which is the lowest figure for a Sunday this month.

Northern Ireland recorded another one fatality to bring the death toll to 550.

There have been no deaths of people who tested positive for coronavirus in Scotland for a third day.

And two more people with coronavirus have died in Wales, taking the total to 1,504.
