'Our thoughts today are also with the family of a five-year-old child with underlying health conditions who's tragically died' Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove also says seven healthcare professionals in the UK have now died from coronavirus
A five-year-old child with underlying health conditions is among those who died with coronavirus over the past day, Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove has said.
The latest figures show 4,313 people with the virus have now died in the UK - up by 708 on Friday's figure. Mr Gove said hundreds of ventilators were being manufactured every day and more had been sourced from abroad.Speaking alongside Mr Gove at the government's daily briefing, NHS England medical director Stephen Powis said:"The sun might be out, but that does not mean you should be out."
He said there is some evidence that social distancing measures are reducing transmission, and that the latest figures suggested new cases had begun to"stabilise".During the briefing, Mr Gove paid tribute to one of the youngest victims of the outbreak. "Our thoughts today are also with the family of the five-year-old with underlying health conditions who has tragically died," he said.
