The UK has recorded a further 31,564 new Covid cases and 203 new deaths.
The number of deaths has increased since Sunday, where there were 56 new deaths recorded, however cases have decreased from 36,100 on Monday.
On Sunday, 29,612 cases of coronavirus were recorded.
Hospitalisations continue to fall with 861 patients admitted to hospital, and currently 7,731 patients with coronavirus are in the UK's hospitals.
982 of those in hospital with coronavirus are on ventilation beds.
The Government has revealed that trials of a new vaccine to fight emerging variants of coronavirus are underway in Manchester.
It is hoped the new jab will offer longer-lasting immunity than the current ones.
The trials will initially involve participants over the age of 60 and over and its creators hope it will boost the immune response of first-generation Covid-19 vaccines to a wide away of variants.
The drug is called GRT-R910. The trial is expected to recruit 20 more volunteers and the results are expected to be revealed early next year. They are being held at the National Institute for Health Research Manchester Clinical Research Facility at the Manchester Royal Infirmary.
Professor Andrew Ustianowski, of Manchester University, one of the clinical leads of the study, said: "We now know the immune response to first-generation vaccines can wane, particularly in older people.
"Coupled with the prevalence of emerging variants, there is a clear need for continued vigilance to keep Covid-19 at bay.
"We think GRT-R910 as a booster vaccination will elicit strong, durable and broad immune responses, which are likely to be critical in maintaining protection of this vulnerable elderly population who are particularly at risk of hospitalisation and death."
In Monday, it was revealed cases of coronavirus have shot up by 17 per cent in just a week following a week of steadying infection levels.
Government data showed that there were a further 36,100 cases and 49 deaths in the UK due to the virus.
The statistics were compared to last Monday, where it was revealed there had been 30,825 new infections and 61 new deaths.
In the last few days, the daily increase of cases had seemed to slow, despite the easing of the last restrictions and the UK's children returning to school.
The school rollout of jabs for children aged 12 to 15 has now been given to go-ahead and vaccinations are set to start next Wednesday.
Booster vaccines are also due to start shortly.
