The UK's coronavirus hospital death toll has increased to 28,533 after 134 more fatalities in hospital were reported.
The UK's coronvirus death toll actually stands at more than 34,000 once deaths in the care homes and in the community are taken into account.
In England 122 more people died in hospitals of Covid-19, meaning 24,739 people have now died in the country's hospitals having caught the bug.
NHS England said the Covid patient notification system did not operate for a period of time on May 16 and this may have had an impact on the number of deaths reported today, which is lower than would be expected.
A further four people have died in Wales, bringing the total there to 1,207, while Northern Ireland's total climbed six to 482.
A total of 2,105 patients have died in Scotland after testing positive for coronavirus, up by two from 2,103 on Sunday, Nicola Sturgeon has announced.
Speaking at the latest Scottish Government coronavirus briefing in Edinburgh, the First Minister said there are 1,427 patients in hospital with confirmed or suspected Covid-19, up 119 from 1,308 on Sunday.
She issued a note of caution over the death figures, saying although deaths can be registered at the weekend, typically fewer were.
Lockdown measures in Scotland could be eased within days of May 28, Ms Sturgeon has announced.
The First Minister said if progress against the virus continues, people might be able to meet up with someone from another household, visit garden centres and participate in some sports.
Ms Sturgeon said a "route map" will be published on Thursday for the path out of lockdown in Scotland.
She said the reproduction rate of the virus will be outlined, along with taking into account the findings of the weekly National Records of Scotland (NRS) report.
If progress is made in reducing the spread of the virus, the First Minister said changes to lockdown restrictions could made after the next review date, May 28.
The First Minister said: "Within a few days of that, we will aim to allow, for example, more outdoor activity such as being able to sit in the park, meet up outdoors with someone from another household as long as you stay socially distant, some limited outdoor sporting activities like golf and fishing, the opening of garden centres and recycling facilities, and the resumption of some outdoor work."
She said more information will also be given about when schools might reopen.
Ms Sturgeon told the briefing: "Within two weeks, my hope is that we will be taking some concrete steps on the journey back to normality.
"As I've said before, it won't be normality as we knew it because the virus will not have gone away but it will be a journey to a better balance - I hope - than the one we have today.
"As we take each step, we must make sure that the ground beneath us is as solid as possible."
"That's why sticking with the lockdown restrictions a bit longer to suppress the virus more is so important because that will mean we can start to take these steps with the confidence that we have alternative means of effectively keeping it under control."
Earlier today Downing Street announced that plans to impose a 14-day quarantine on international travellers arriving in the UK will be reviewed every three weeks.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman told a Westminster briefing: "The PM has said that those arriving in the UK from overseas will be required to self-isolate in order to prevent infections from abroad and a second wave of cases.
"The work on this is continuing and we will set out more details in due course."
Number 10 insisted that there had never been an exemption for France, but said there would be an exemption for Ireland as part of the common travel area.
Asked how long the quarantine regulation would last, the spokesman said: "Any changes brought in will be subject to a rolling review every three weeks to ensure they are in line with the latest scientific advice and that they remain effective and necessary."
