The number of people who have died in the United Kingdom after testing positive for COVID-19 rose by 170 to 34,636, business minister Alok Sharma said on Sunday, the lowest increase in the official death toll since March 24.
The increase reported on Sunday was sharply down from the 468 rise in deaths reported 24 hours earlier and the lowest since Britain brought in a lockdown to curb the spread of the virus on March 23.
“The consequences of this situation may therefore be reflected in the number of deaths reported today,” NHS England said. Sharma said 243,303 people in Britain had so far tested positive for the virus, an increase of 3,142 since Saturday.
