UK suffers worst day yet as 980 people die from COVID-19

In UK, death toll from coronavirus has gone up to 8,958 with 980 fatalities recorded yesterday. The UK government has issued another clarion call for people to stay at home during the Easter weekend.

Health Secretary,  Matt Hancock appealed  the British public to resist the urge to enjoy the nice weather forecast over the long holiday weekend to help the



National Health Service (NHS) manage the large numbers of Covid-19 related admissions to hospitals.

Hancock also confirmed an earlier Downing Street statement that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is recovering well and able to do short walks while in his hospital ward after being shifted out of intensive care.
