The country also reported another seven coronavirus-related deaths. The total number of coronavirus-related deaths in Britain now stands at 127,524. These figures only include the deaths of people who died within 28 days of their first positive test.

More than 34.3 million people have been given the first jab of the coronavirus vaccine, according to the latest official figures.
