A further 1,014 people have died after contracting Covid-19, bringing the UK's official death toll to 111,264. The number of new cases identified in 24 totalled 19,114, the Department of Health announced.

Earlier today the NHS said that a 15-year-old was among those who died in hospital. The UK has the fifth highest death toll in the world, with just the USA, Mexico, Brazil and India recording more fatalities.
