 Britain clocks 5,368 coronavirus deaths
LONDON 6 Apr (ANA) - England, Scotland and Wales have declared 434 more deaths from the coronavirus today, taking the UK's total to 5,368.
Scotland and Wales have independently declared 31 extra deaths in the past 24 hours.
The statistics are a glimmer of hope as the increase in death numbers is the lowest it has been since March 31, when it was 381.
However, numbers of fatalities recorded on Sundays and published on Mondays have, since the outbreak in the UK began, been followed by an upward surge on Tuesday.
The Department of Health's all-UK roundup is expected to be published this afternoon.
Scotland was the first to declare new cases today, with 255 new positive tests and just four new deaths, taking its totals to 222 and 3,961.
Wales declared a further 302 cases and 27 more deaths, meaning it has now had 3,499 positive tests and 193 people have died.(ANA)
