Britain's coronavirus death toll today jumped by only 151 in the lowest increase on a Thursday since March 19, as the outbreak continues to fade.
Department of Health statistics reveal the number of daily laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 fatalities is 14 per cent lower than the 176 recorded last Thursday, and down on the 245 registered yesterday.
The official number of victims now stands at 41,279 — but separate grim figures that take into account suspected and confirmed fatalities say the actual death toll has already surpassed 50,000.
