Covid Death Toll in UK Hits 60,113 – Rises by 414 in a Day
The UK has now recorded 60,113 deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test, with 414 new fatalities reported in the last 24 hours alone.

Other ways to measure the death toll paint an even grimmer picture. Totals that include all deaths mentioning Covid-19 on death certificates and “excess deaths” compared to average figures for this time of year are both higher.
