The number of Covid-19 patients to die in UK hospitals has risen by 16 to 33,842.
The tragic figure was released this afternoon by health authorities, and does not include those who died in other settings including care homes.
All the recorded fatalities happened in England, with patients aged between 58 and 104.
There were no coronavirus deaths reported in Wales and Scotland in the past 24 hours.
Northern Ireland has yet to release its daily figure.
It comes as alarming figures show the number of new coronavirus cases is no longer falling in England.
The Office for National Statistics said a steady decline in number of people testing positive for Covid-19 over the last few months "has now levelled off".
It is the lowest daily increase on a Friday since the start of lockdown in March.
Last Friday hospital chiefs across the UK confirmed 17 Covid-19 fatalities, down from 22 a week earlier.
In a statement NHS England said all those who died had underlying health conditions.
Health chiefs have provided a breakdown showing where fatalities were reported:
- East of England - 0
- London - 0
- Midlands - 4
- North East & Yorkshire - 3
- North West - 2
- South East - 7
- South West - 0
Yesterday 19 fatalities were confirmed in hospitals, while 53 people died in all settings.
Earlier today data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that the death rate in deprived areas is twice that of affluent places.
Places with high levels of deprivation have double the Covid-19 mortality rates of more affluent areas, shocking new figures reveal.
In England, deprived areas suffered 139.6 deaths per 100,000 people between March and June - compared to 63.4 in wealthier places.
There was a similar discrepancy in Wales, with 119.1 deaths per 100,000 in poorer areas compared to 63.5 in affluent places.
The gap between mortality death rates is widening, data released today found.
ONS statistician Heather Bovill said: "Despite decreases in the level of COVID-19 infection from mid-May to mid-June this has slowed in recent weeks, and has now levelled off.
"As the Government relaxes lockdown measures, we are closely monitoring these results for any changes."
The figures are from the ONS's infection survey pilot, which has used large-scale testing to estimate the spread of the virus in England since late April.
The survey does not include Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, and does not include cases in hospitals, care homes or other "institutional settings".
