LONDON (Reuters) – The United Kingdom’s death toll from people who tested positive for COVID-19 has risen by 359 to 39,728, the government said on Wednesday.
A separate tally of UK deaths using official data from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, drawn mostly from death certificate data and including suspected cases, showed a total of more than 50,000 earlier on Wednesday.
