Another 453 people have died from coronavirus in hospitals across the UK.

The toll was updated after England recorded another 366 deaths in hospitals, Wales another 26, Scotland another 44, and 17 in Northern Ireland.

The Government is due to announce its official death toll later today, which will include deaths in care homes and the wider community.

The latest hospital figures were released after new data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed the UK now has the highest coronavirus death rate in Europe.

Coronavirus latest news and updates

The ONS confirmed more than 32,000 people in the UK have died with suspected Covid-19, which is more than Italy, previously Europe’s worst hit country.

There were 29,648 Covid-19 deaths in England and Wales, as of April 24. Including deaths for Scotland and Northern Ireland, the toll now stands at 32,313.

That is higher than Italy’s current count of 29,079, although its toll does not include suspected cases.

Ministers dislike comparing death tolls between countres, saying that excess mortality – the number of deaths from all causes that exceed the average for the time of year – is a more meaningful metric.

The ONS also confirmed there were 7,713 deaths involving Covid-19 outside hospitals in England and Wales, as of April 24.

The equivalent number for hospital deaths over this period is 19,643.

A total of 5,890 people died in care homes, while 301 died in hospices. The ONS said 1,306 died in private homes and a further 216 died in communal establishments and other locations.

It is important to note that ONS figures are based on mentions of Covid-19 on death certificates, whether or not the deceased had tested positive for coronavirus.
