UK coronavirus death toll in big rise as 286 more people lose their lives

mirror.co.uk:

The UK's official death toll has reached 40,883 people across all settings. The figure includes all those who died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for coronavirus as of 5pm on Monday.

The total for Tuesday, June 9, is up by 286 from 40,597 the day before. On Tuesday last week the death toll rose by 324 people, as the numbers continue a downward trend.

However the Government figures do not include all deaths involving Covid-19 across the UK, with the true death toll thought to have passed 51,000.

Earlier, official figures showed the UK's hospital death toll had recorded the lowest rise on a Tuesday for two weeks, totalling 31,988 after 145 more fatalities were reported.
