Covid-19 in the UK: How many coronavirus cases are there in your area?

There have been more than 4.3 million confirmed cases of ทดลองเล่นสล็อต xo coronavirus in the UK and over 126,000 people have died, government figures show.

However, these figures include only people who have died within 28 days of testing positive for coronavirus.

More than 31 million people in the UK have now had their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine.

Cases have declined

The average number of new daily cases in the UK has fallen substantially since the start of the year, but the rate of decline has slowed in recent weeks.

A further 2,762 confirmed cases in the UK were announced by the government on Sunday. This compares with 4,654 new cases reported a week ago.

Some cases data was delayed over the Easter weekend and no figures were released on Sunday for Northern Ireland or Wales. Reporting schedules will return to normal next week.

Last month infection levels in secondary school-age children in England increased slightly after they returned to school. But the Office for National Statistics (ONS) says this trend does not appear to have continued.

According to the ONS, which tests a random sample of adults and children in the community, infections have "decreased" in England and Scotland, are "uncertain" in Wales and are possibly increasing in Northern Ireland.

Vaccine rollout continues

More than 31.5 million people - or more than half of all UK adults - have now received a first dose of a vaccine and over 5.4 million people have had a second.

Saturday 20 March saw the highest number of vaccinations given in a single day - more than 844,000.

The government has often described vaccine supplies as "lumpy" and the NHS has warned that there will be a "significant reduction in weekly supply" of vaccines in April.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the UK is "building up long-term UK manufacturing capabilities" for vaccines, with Novavax set to produce a jab in the North East.

And the first Moderna jabs are due to arrive in the UK later this month.
