The UK's coronavirus hospital death toll has increased to 28,533 after 134 more fatalities in hospital were reported. The UK's coronvirus death toll actually stands at more than 34,000 once deaths in the care homes and in the community are taken into account.
In England 122 more people died in hospitals of Covid-19, meaning 24,739 people have now died in the country's hospitals having caught the bug.
NHS England said the Covid patient notification system did not operate for a period of time on May 16 and this may have had an impact on the number of deaths reported today, which is lower than would be expected.
A further four people have died in Wales, bringing the total there to 1,207, while Northern Ireland's total climbed six to 482.
