London recorded one death from coronavirus in the last 24 hours, the latest Government figures released on Tuesday (March 16) show.
A further 451 cases were recorded across the capital in this update, bringing fresh hope that lockdown restrictions have helped curb the second wave.
However, London does have the third-highest death toll in England with 15,352 fatalities within 28 days of a positive test.

A cycle lane that cost more than half a million pounds to install has been criticised by Barnet councillors for causing “huge tailbacks”.
Tory councillors asked for a cost breakdown of the A1000 cycle lane, which runs from East Finchley to North Finchley, and said the scheme did not seem to be popular with residents.
The cycle lane was introduced by Barnet Council last year using emergency funding provided by the government to support social distancing.

The project is running on a trial basis initially to see what impact it has on reducing people leaving waste in the area. Barnet Council says three new shrub beds have been installed in Burnt Oak, which it says will enhance the look and feel of the area and hopefully deter waste being dumped in these spaces.

Tory councillors asked for a cost breakdown of the A1000 cycle lane in Finchley and said the scheme did not seem to be popular with residents. The cycle lane was introduced by Barnet Council last year using emergency funding provided by the Government to support social distancing. But at a meeting of the environment committee on Thursday, the councillors claimed it was causing traffic congestion and pollution – and warned some aspects of the design could pose a risk to cyclists.
