A further 66 people have died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of Friday.
The numbers, accurate as of 9am on Friday, brings the total number of positive cases in the UK to 467,146.
This brings the UK total to 42,268.

It comes ahead of new measures introduced at one minute past midnight on Saturday that affect areas including Warrington and Merseyside, and ban households mixing in restaurants, bars, cafes, homes and gardens or outdoor spaces.
Exceptions are in place for people in either childcare or support bubbles.
Anyone who flouts the new rules could face fines starting at £200.
And in the East London borough of Tower Hamlets, residents have been urged to avoid mixing with other households "unless absolutely necessary" after recording one of the highest number of infections in the capital.
