The number of Covid-19 patients to die in UK hospitals has risen by nine - the lowest daily rise since the start of lockdown.
The figures were released by health authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. Eight people died in hospitals in England, while one death was reported in Wales.
No fatalities were recorded in Scotland. Northern Ireland has yet to release its daily figure. Those who died in England were aged between 61 and 91 years old and all had known underlying conditions.
For the second day in a row the government will not be releasing an overall figure for the number of fatalities in all settings amid questions over its accuracy.
