Another 622 people have died with coronavirus in the UK's hospitals.
A further 563 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died in hospital in England, bringing the total number of confirmed deaths reported in hospitals to 71,789, NHS England said on Sunday.
Patients were aged between 24 and 99, NHS England added. All except 29, aged between 34 and 97, had known underlying health conditions.
Meanwhile, another 34 died in Welsh hospitals, six in Scotland, and 19 in Northern Ireland.
It's the lowest increase on a Sunday for three weeks, as Covid-19 claimed the lives of 682 people in hospital last Sunday.
The deaths reported today in England's hospitals were between December 14 and January 30.
There were 27 other deaths reported with no positive Covid-19 test result.
On Saturday, the latest figures showed a further 787 patients died in hospital with coronavirus, with 865 the day before.
The record daily increase for hospital deaths is 1,185 - which was set on January 20.
It comes as Public Health England’s Dr Susan Hopkins has warned that relaxing lockdown measures would have to be done “very slowly, very cautiously” to avoid a surge in infections.
“We have learnt, as we did on the first occasion, we have to relax things really quite slowly, so that if cases start to increase we can clamp down quite fast,” she told BBC One’s Andrew Marr Show.
“The NHS is going to be under pressure until the end of March, as normal in winter, but even more so with the amount of inpatients they still have with Covid-19.
“Any releases that we have will have to happen very slowly, very cautiously, watching and waiting as we go, with a two-week period to watch and see the impact of that relaxation because it takes that to see what’s happening in the population.”
