London: The UK on Monday recorded its lowest daily death toll during the coronavirus pandemic of 55, which marks the lowest level since before the country went into lockdown on March 23, alongside London hospitals registered no new deaths.The UK's total COVID-19 death toll now stands at 40,597, which reflects no new deaths announced in both Scotland and Northern Ireland for a second consecutive day.While some of these figures are expected to be a result of an established trend of a weekend lag in collating data, the government welcomed the latest set of statistics as a promising sign that the virus is in retreat as it gradually lifts lockdown restrictions in phases."The number of new fatalities each day is thankfully falling," UK Health.
