THE UK’s coronavirus death toll has reached more than 18,000 after 757 new fatalities were announced today.
England reported 665 new deaths on Wednesday, Scotland reported 77, and Wales had 15 new deaths, taking the death toll to at least 18,174. Northern Ireland are yet to release their figures.
The combined daily increase from the three nations (not including Northern Ireland) comes to 757, which could differ from the figure later released by the Department of Health this afternoon.
It is important to note that the deaths are only those which occurred in hospitals across the UK.
