The number of people who have died across England, Scotland and Wales after contracting coronavirus has risen by 164 in 24 hours.
The increase consists of 147 hospital patients in England, nine people in Scotland, one person in Northern Ireland and seven hospital patients and care home residents in Wales.
So far, no UK-wide figures from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) have been released, so the total is taken from each nation’s individual reporting.

Here’s a quick primer on what all the different numbers mean and how to understand them.
