UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock has this afternoon led the government daily coronavirus briefing by announcing that from tomorrow the daily figures on the number of deaths will not only include hospitals but those that occur in care home and the wider community.
The briefing also confirmed that coronavirus tests will be available to include all asymptomatic residents and staff in care home, as well as symptomatic patients and staff in NHS hospitals.
Mr Hancock went on to announce he is now in a position to expand access to coronavirus tests further with tests now also available to all over-65s and people living in their households with symptoms, and those workers with symptoms who need to travel outside their home for work.
