The United Kingdom's hospital death toll from COVID-19 rose 847 to 14,576, as of 1600 GMT on Apr 16, the health ministry said.
LONDON: The United Kingdom's hospital death toll from COVID-19 rose 847 to 14,576 on Friday , the daily health ministry figures showed, a slightly slower increase than the 861 new deaths recorded the previous day.
"The worst thing we could do right now is ease up too soon," said Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is deputising for Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he recuperates from COVID-19. The government has insisted the lockdown is working and there are signs the pandemic is peaking in Britain, with the infection rate thought to have dropped markedly.
