More than 1,200 people across the UK have died from coronavirus, the government has said.
The latest figures published on Sunday confirm that the UK death toll now stands at 1,228, which is an increase of 209 from Saturday's tally.
And the number of people to have tested positive for Covid-19, as of 9am, has been confirmed as 19,522 - a rise of 2,433 from 17,089 on Saturday.
A Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) daily update read: "As of 9am 29 March, a total of 127,737 have been tested: 108,215 negative. 19,522 positive.
"As of 5pm on 28 March, of those hospitalised in the UK, 1,228 have sadly died."
The further 190 patients in England who died after testing positive for Covid-19 were aged between 39 and 105, and all but four – aged between 57 and 87 – had underlying health conditions, the NHS said.
Their families have been informed.
The Prime Minister Boris Johnson is among those to have tested positive - as is Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
The health expert leading the government's response, Public Health England chief medical officer Chris Whitty, said he was experiencing symptoms on Friday and is therefore also isolating.
The daily update published on Sunday follows the sharp rise in deaths on Saturday, which was the biggest day-on-day increase in deaths so far with 260 further deaths.
It also comes amid a warning that the UK could be on full lockdown until 'late May or early June', according to a leading scientist.
Imperial College London’s Professor Neil Ferguson, whose research has been key to the Government's approach, said he believed the strict measures would have to remain in place for a 'significant period of time'.
He told the Sunday Times: "We’re going to have to keep these measures (the full lockdown) in place, in my view, for a significant period of time – probably until the end of May, maybe even early June."
But Cabinet minister Michael Gove declined to give a timeframe for the measures being lifted.
The DHSC has been forced to take on a new approach to recording confirmed cases and deaths as the government, NHS England and Public Health England rapidly scale up the number of tests for COVID-19 completed each day.
Figures are now reported via a new automated system, which will provide the number of deaths recorded in the previous 5pm to 5pm period.
