These figures mean the UK has the eighth-highest amount of coronavirus deaths globally, with the United States having the most at a shocking 750,000.
Covid-19 infection rates are the highest they have ever been in England, raising serious concerns about the country's response to the virus.
Around one in 50 people in private households in England had Covid-19 in the week to October 30, unchanged from the previous week, according to the latest estimates from the Office for National Statistics..
One in 50 is the equivalent of about 1.1 million people, and is the same proportion of people who were estimated to have coronavirus at the peak of the second wave in early January.
It comes as the UK became the first in the world to approve a new Covid pill on Friday.
The pill Known as Molnupiravir in the US and Lagevrio in the UK, has been shown in trials to reduce hospitalisations and deaths among high risk patients.
The pill, which has been hailed by Health Secretary Sajid Javid as a "game changer", won't be handed out to everyone.
Prescription is dependent on both the severity of each individual case as well as whether the patient can be classed as fitting into a risk category.
So far 480,000 courses of the drug have been ordered to the UK, with a national trial to take place on both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients before more is ordered.
As of Saturday, there were 50m recorded as having had one dose of a Covid vaccine, while 45.8m have had both.
The Mirror reported yesterday how those eligible for a third jab will reportedly be able to have it a month earlier.
Amid concerns of a "problematic" winter looming ahead, the NHS will from next week send out invitations for the top up five months after the second dose rather than six to speed up the rollout.
