Coronavirus: UK daily death figure dips to lowest level since March

Coronavirus: UK daily death figure dips to lowest level since March The UK's daily figure for coronavirus deaths has dropped to 170 - the lowest since the day after lockdown began.

The announcement comes a week after the first easing of restrictions in England - and while numbers are typically lower on Sundays, the figure is almost 100 fewer than the 268 reported a week ago.

But the overall death toll remains the highest in Europe, and is now 34,636. BBC News
