The coronavirus death toll in England, Scotland and Wales has gone up by 368, health authorities have announced. It continues to rise after passing the 20,000 mark yesterday, as Brits are warned that social distancing measures will remain in place for a long time to prevent the infection spreading further.
The youngest English victim was 28, NHS England said in a statement, with the oldest casualty aged 100. The tragic casualty number, which now stands at 20,687, includes victims who died in hospitals, but not those who died elsewhere, including in care homes.
Of these 336 were in England, 14 were in Wales and 18 in Scotland. Northern Ireland has yet to confirm its daily death toll.
