Coronavirus: Warning over daily death figures Experts are warning against over-interpreting daily figures of people dying with the Covid-19 virus, since they often reflect reporting delays.
Spikes or dips may in part reflect bottlenecks in the reporting system, rather than real changes in the trend.
On Monday, 439 coronavirus deaths were recorded in the UK - down from 621 on Sunday and 708 on Saturday.
Many hospitals will not report deaths that happened over the weekend until the middle of the following week. BBC News
