UK coronavirus death toll rises by 121 up to 36,914 - the second-smallest increase since March

A further 121 people in the UK have died with coronavirus, bringing the total to 36,914. The deaths - which were recorded in the 24-hours to 5pm on Sunday - took place in hospitals, care homes and the wider community. The increase in deaths announced on Monday is the second-lowest 24-hour increase since March, and while Covid-19 deaths and cases are declining, there is often a lag in the figures reported at the weekends and on bank holidays, meaning they do not always offer a full picture of deaths in the period they are from.

On its website, some 17,473 people were said to have been tested under pillar one of the testing strategy - swab tests at Public Health England labs and NHS hospitals - but the figure for essential worker swab tests…
