The number of people with COVID-19 who have died in the UK has risen by 288, bringing the total to 28,734.
The latest figure from the Department of Health is for coronavirus-related fatalities as of 5pm on Sunday in all settings, including hospitals, care homes and the wider community.
It is the lowest daily increase since the end of March, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said.
But he pointed out that "reported figures tend to be lower over the weekend, so we do expect that number to rise".
Numbers collated from the weekend can be lower than later in the week as fewer administration staff may have been working.
In England, another 204 people have died in hospital, taking the total to 21,384.
Scotland has had five more deaths, bringing the overall number to 1,576.
In Wales, a further 14 people have died, taking the total number to 997.
Another six deaths have been reported in Northern Ireland, as the overall number rose to 387.
In the 24 hours up to 9am on Monday, there were 85,186 tests for COVID-19 in the UK. The government has vowed to carry out 100,000 daily tests and hit the target late last week, but missed it in the latest numbers.
Mr Hancock has urged the public to download the new NHS contact-tracing app to help to ease lockdown measures. It is being trialled on the Isle of Wight.
On Sunday, Boris Johnson is expected to outline full details of how the UK will exit lockdown - three days after the government must review the current restrictions.
Draft government guidance for safe working has been circulated to around 180 employers, unions and business groups - setting out the requirements in seven workplace settings, including factories, hospitality, for those working in people's homes and in vehicles, and outdoors.
The guidelines are part of a staged process to ease lockdown measures and try and help restart the economy in the coming months as the COVID-19 health emergency eases.
Reduced hot-desking, the closure of office lifts and canteens, and putting tape on the floor to mark where people should stand are among measures being proposed by the government to get back people back to work.
For workers who have customer-facing roles, plastic screens should be erected to help protect them, while continued home working and staggered shifts should also be encouraged, the guidance says.
