LONDON (Reuters) – Britain reported 532 new deaths of people within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 on Tuesday, the highest daily figure since May, government figures showed.
The daily death toll is the highest since 614 deaths were reported on May 12. The 532 new deaths are a sharp rise from 194 reported on Monday, and may reflect a lagged reporting of deaths from the weekend.
There were 20,412 people who tested positive for COVID-19 in the latest daily figures, down slightly from 21,350 on Monday.
