The official figures for Saturday, May 30 remain eclipsed by the UK's true death toll.
The true figure, collated by the Office for National Statistics, is more than 47,300 based on death certificates from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The latest grim figures were issued on a sunny weekend, as heatwave weather across the UK saw crowds flock to beaches, parks and beautyspots ahead of lockdown being eased.
While many people seemed to be keeping their distance, large groups have been pictured gathering in the sunshine despite lockdown rules remaining unchanged until Monday.
Boris Johnson announced on Thursday that from Monday groups of six people can meet outside - but must keep two metres distance from members of different households.
The lockdown rule changes also comes as some schools reopening on Monday, while retailers will wait until mid-June to be allowed to reopen shops.
Reception, Year One and Year Six pupils will be allowed back in class from Monday, although some councils are still refusing to open schools just yet.
