The UK’s official coronavirus death toll has reached 37,460, a rise of 412 since the last count.
The Department of Health said in an update: “As of 9 am 27 May, there have been 3,798,490 tests, with 117,013 tests on 26 May. 267,240 people have tested positive. As of 5 pm on 26 May, of those tested positive for coronavirus, across all settings, 37,460 have sadly died.”
New figures were released after Downing Street said it could not explain why the number of daily tests carried out had not been reported publicly for four days.
