Nearly 2,000 Britons have died in hospital in the past 48 hours after catching the bug.
Yesterday, Britain’s coronavirus death toll rose by 980 in 24 hours, making it the largest and deadliest increase on the worst day of its outbreak in Spain (961).
The death toll continues to rise as authorities believe new Covid-19 infections will peak on Easter Sunday and the NHS is poised for a “tsunami” of cases this weekend.
The total number of cases in the UK is now 78,991, with 5,234 new cases in the last 24 hours.
NHS England said this afternoon that the 823 more who died in England were between 11 and 102 years old.
And 33 of those patients, ages 29 to 94, had no known underlying health conditions.
Matt Hancock said at yesterday’s 10th press conference that the devastating numbers did not mean that the NHS was being “overrun” by the pandemic.
He said: “I am very happy, that so far in this crisis, there is no point where the NHS has been invaded, and every person with coronavirus has been able to access the best possible care in the NHS, because we have taken action to expand the NHS. “
Scotland today reported 47 more covid-19 related deaths as the death toll rises to 542 with 5,590 cases.
And Northern Ireland reported 15 more deaths, for a total of 107 people dying in the country from coronavirus.
There were 128 new cases of the virus, bringing the total number of confirmed positive tests in the region since the outbreak began to 1,717.
The social distancing could be in effect indefinitely, as the government works to combat the murderous virus that causes chaos around the world.
More than 100,000 people have died from coronavirus, with more than a million cases worldwide.
Although plans show that the blockade is likely to be in place for a few more months, The Telegraph reports that a careful return to classrooms could be the first stage in the virus exit strategy.

But it is said that everything depends on when the peak of the pandemic reaches the United Kingdom.
Scientists modeling the outbreak believe that harsh social distancing measures have slowed the spread of the error.
Hospital admissions are now forecast to start dropping around a fortnight, if the British continue at home.
Last week it was confirmed that schools would not reopen after Easter after a minister suggested reopening schools after Easter could “boost the economy.”
The unidentified minister was quoted as calling to allow the children to return to school after the Easter break in a fortnight.
The British could live with coronavirus restrictions until a vaccine is developed that could take “around 18 months,” according to reports.
The more severe restrictions will be phased out, but some, like remote work and isolation if you have symptoms of the virus, will remain in some form for the next year.
