The UK death toll from coronavirus has risen by 186 to 43,414, according to the latest government figures.
A further 1,006 people tested positive for Covid-19 in the 24 hours up to 9am on Friday, the Department for Health and Social Care said.
The government figures do not include all fatalities involving Covid-19 across the UK, which are thought to have passed 54,000.
The UK's death toll remains the third highest in the world, following the US and Brazil.
A total of 309,360 people have been confirmed as having the virus in the UK. A further 165,665 tests were carried out or dispatched in past 24 hours, taking the total to 8,911,226.
The figure for the number of people tested has been “temporarily paused to ensure consistent reporting” across all methods of testing, the government said on Friday.
Separate data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that people working in socialcare, the NHS and occupations such as cleaning, construction work and security were more likely to die with coronavirus.
Some 4,761 deaths involving Covid-19 were registered among people of working age (20 to 64) in England and Wales between 9 March and 25 May, the ONS said, with nearly two-thirds of these deaths men.
Men working in "elementary" positions such as construction workers, security guards and cleaners had some of the highest rates of death involving Covid-19, with 39.7 deaths per 100,000 men.
Security guards alone had the highest rate, with 74 deaths per 100,000.
Meanwhile, men and women working in socialcare both had "significantly raised rates of death", with rates of 50.1 deaths per 100,000 men and 19.1 deaths per 100,000 women, the ONS said.
