The number of people who have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK has soared to 1,140, with the death toll almost doubling overnight to 21.
The new figures were a stark jump from Friday's total, when it was announced that 798 people had contracted the virus and 11 had died.
The updated count came just minutes before the US extended its European travel ban to include Britain, as the Republic of Ireland confirmed its second patient death.
