A coronavirus patient dies every 13 minutes in the UK - with the daily death count having topped 100 for the first time yesterday.

One hundred and thirty-three people died in the last 24 hour period, it was announced on Thursday afternoon. The deadly pandemic has now killed a total of 578 in Britain since the first known cases in January, while 11,658 have tested positive with Covid-19.

This comes as figures show 4,300 beds in NHS hospitals have already been taken by virus patients as doctors, nurses and other medical staff work round the clock.

Roadblocks were put in place to catch motorists flouting the lockdown, with police to fine drivers if they do not have essential reasons for travel.
