A six-week-old baby who tested positive for coronavirus is believed to be the youngest casualty in the UK. The tragic tot, who had a pre-existing health condition, was one of 332 victims announced by NHS England today.
That takes the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England to 22,765, while Scotland's coronavirus death toll has climbed to 1,811.
The sad news comes at a time when First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has extended Scotland's lockdown - prompting speculation as to whether Boris Johnson will relax conditions down south.
A statement from the NHS said: "Patients were aged between six weeks and 103 years old. 22 of the 332 patients (aged between 40 and 96 years old) had no known underlying health condition."Eve
