UK records new highest daily total of coronavirus cases since pandemic began

The UK has reported its highest daily total of coronavirus cases since the beginning of the pandemic.

As of 9am on Monday, there had been a further 58,784 lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK.

It brings the total number of cases in the UK to 2,713,563.

The Government said a further 407 people have died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of Monday, bringing the UK total to 75,431.

Separate figures published by the UK’s statistics agencies for deaths where Covid-19 has been mentioned on the death certificate, together with additional data on deaths that have occurred in recent days, show there have now been 91,000 deaths involving Covid-19 in the UK.

The figures do not represent results from the whole UK due to data on deaths not being reported by Scotland on Monday.
