More than a thousand Covid-19 deaths have been recorded nationally in the past 24 hours, along with 62,322 new daily infections across the UK.
A total of 1,041 deaths were added to the total death toll - the highest daily death increase since April 22.
In the past seven days alone 4,798 people have died as a result of the virus, a 32 per cent increase compare to the week previous.
At least 211 frontline health and care workers have been identified after dying with coronavirus.
Through tributes from loved ones and confirmation through sources such as local NHS trusts and other authorities, the PA news agency has confirmed the names of health and social care workers who have died after contracting Covid-19 since March 11.
This chronological list contains people who were working in roles shortly before their deaths where they were likely to come into contact with patients.
The figure is likely to be lower than the true number of workers who have died, as the names of some victims will not yet be in the public domain.
