The number of Covid-19 associated UK deaths has been recorded as 41,537 - rising by ten since yesterday.
Nationally, the death toll has been 'recalculated' by officials using a revised definition of coronavirus-related deaths.
Previously, people in England who died at any stage following a positive test, regardless of the cause of their death, were counted in the figures.
However, there is now a cut off point of 28 days from the first laboratory-confirmed positive coronavirus test.
