UK coronavirus official death toll passes 18,000 - but daily total dips slightly
Reading now: 621
The UK's coronavirus death toll has reached more than 18,000 after the death of 757 more people suffering from the disease. England reported 665 new deaths on Wednesday, Scotland reported 77, and Wales had 15 new deaths.
Northern Ireland is yet to report its figures. The total death toll is now 18,094 across the UK. In England, the number of hospital deaths rose to 16,272 from 15,607 today, health officials said.
The true UK 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.
