Another 1,248 people have died with Covid in the UK, bringing the overall death toll to 86,015, according to official data.

A further 48,682 people have tested positive for Covid-19 in the UK over the last 24 hours, reported the Department of Health.

The number is based on the most up-to-date statistics for people who had Covid-19 recorded on their death certificate, plus deaths known to have occurred more recently.

It is a more comprehensive measure of the death toll than the figures published daily by the government, which include only those who died within 28 days of testing positive.

However, the government’s data states that 89,243 people have died with Covid-19 listed on their death certificate since the start of the UK’s outbreak.

London in particular was seeing a drop in its number of positive coronavirus tests, alongside the south east and east, he said.
