Another 3,877 people have now tested positive for the virus, bringing the total to 223,060, the Health Department revealed today.
The last number of deaths refers to those who have died in all settings, including nursing homes, hospices, and the wider community.
In England, 23,358 have died only in hospitals, according to NHS England.
Today’s increase in England (209) is greater than yesterday, when 178 Covid-19 deaths were announced.
But it is still lower than any daily increase recorded in England throughout April.
The figures also tend to be lower over the weekend due to a delay in reporting.
In Scotland, the death toll from the insect is now 1,862 after five more deaths were announced overnight.
In Wales, five other deaths have been recorded in the last 24 hours, bringing the total there to 1,116.
Among the latest deaths was Naomi Derrig, who had type 1 diabetes when she died in Manchester over the weekend.
Naomi, 31, died suddenly in her sleep after celebrating at a VE Day street party, and her heartbroken sister said she had been “beaming.”
It comes as:
Scientists have said that men may be more likely to die of coronavirus, because their blood contains higher levels of an enzyme used by the insect to infect healthy cells.
It has also been revealed that taxi drivers, store workers, chefs and security guards are more likely to die from the killer bug, but that doctors are no more at risk than the public.
According to the Office for National Statistics, men working in the least skilled jobs had the highest death rate involving Covid-19.
Security guards had one of the highest rates with 45.7 deaths per 100,000 (63 deaths).
UNLOCKING
Last night, Boris Johnson described the “careful first steps” to ease the blockage as part of a three-phase plan to return to normal life.
In a speech to the nation, he revealed a road map to get Britain back on its feet, displaying its new motto “stay alert, control the virus and save lives.”
The new guidelines differ from those established in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, where people are still told to stay home.
Of his new plans, the Prime Minister said: “We have passed the initial peak, but the mountain is often coming down, which is often more dangerous.”
“We have a route, and we have a plan, and everyone in government has the enormous pressure and challenge to save lives, restore livelihoods, and gradually restore the freedoms we need.”
“But in the end, this is a plan that everyone must make work.”
Those unable to work from home, including builders and factory workers, are now urged to return to work under the new plan.
Elementary school children will gradually return to the classroom starting next month, and years one and six are expected to return first.
And the British will also be able to enjoy unlimited exercise starting on Wednesday, provided they follow the guidelines for social distancing.
CHAOS AND CONFUSION
But the new guide has created some confusion, and many criticize the lack of clarity about the rules.
Roads and tubes were busy this morning after Boris told travelers they could return to work, while Dominic Raab said they would only be allowed to do so starting Wednesday.
The Foreign Secretary also left the British confused this morning by hinting that he might be meeting more than one friend or family member in the park.

Since then, Downing Street has confirmed that people can meet a friend or family member outside of their home as long as they maintain their social distance.
Meanwhile, comedian Matt Lucas revealed that seven people he knows have been killed by the killer bug.
He said, “I know seven people who have died. When our prime minister’s message is clear and effective, satirists like me will not have a job. I will be happy when that happens.”
