The UK coronavirus hospital death toll has reached 34,027 after another 16 patients died. A further 15 deaths were recorded in England's hospitals today while Wales reported one more death.
Scotland did not report any new deaths, and Northern Ireland is yet to update its latest figures. Yesterday the death toll increased by 17.
Last Saturday, August 1, saw the hospital death toll increase by seven. The previous Saturday, July 25, recorded 25 more deaths in UK hospitals.
