Covid-19 cases recorded in a single day have risen above 40,000 for the first time, as Public Health England (PHE) warned “hospitals are at their most vulnerable”.
The Government said that, as of 9am on Monday, there had been a further 41,385 lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK, while a further 357 people have died within 28 days of testing positive.
Dr Yvonne Doyle, medical director at PHE, said: “This very high level of infection is of growing concern at a time when our hospitals are at their most vulnerable, with new admissions rising in many regions.”
It comes as hospitals in the South face a rise in pressure as the number of coronavirus patients receiving treatment heads towards the April peak.
