Reading now: 521
Britain's coronavirus hospital death toll has risen to 17,408 after 873 more fatalities were reported in the last 24 hours - a huge rise after lower figures at the weekend.
England recorded 778 new deaths on Tuesday, Scotland reported 70 and Wales had 25 as the UK entered its fifth week in lockdown.
Northern Ireland had not yet reported its latest figures. The true toll will be far higher when deaths in care homes, privates homes and hospices - for which there is no official running total - are included.
New figures released separately on Tuesday found that coronavirus deaths were 41 per cent higher in England and Wales than the Government's hospital-only figures up to April 10.
