The number of people who have died with coronavirus in UK hospitals, care homes and the wider community has risen by 315, bringing the total number of fatalities to 28,446.

The official Department of Health figure, the lowest since the end of March, was offered by cabinet minister Michael Gove during Sunday's Downing Street news briefing.

Gove also revealed that 76,496 coronavirus tests were carried out in the 24 hours to 9am on Sunday - below the government's target.

The target of 100,000 tests per day by the end of April had been met the previous two days.

And Mr Gove admitted there would be a time, when the virus was under control, for "deep and probing questions about lessons we can learn as a country from how we handled this crisis in its early stages".

"Undoubtedly this government, like all governments, will have made mistakes," he said.

Also, the national medical director of NHS England,  Professor Stephen Powis, told the briefing that the current R number across the UK was around 0.7 - meaning the lockdown restrictions to slow the spread of the virus are working.
