Another 3,877 people have now tested positive for the virus, taking the total to 223,060, the Department of Health revealed today.
The latest death toll refers to those who have died in all settings - including care homes, hospices and the wider community.
In England, 23, 358 have died in hospitals alone, according to NHS England.
Today's rise in England (209) is greater than it was yesterday, when 178 Covid-19 deaths were announced.
But it is still lower than any daily rise recorded in England throughout April.
Figures also tend to be lower over the weekend due to a lag in reporting.
In Scotland, the death toll from the bug is now 1,862 after five more deaths were announced overnight.
In Wales, a further five deaths have been recorded in the last 24 hours, bringing the total there to 1,116.
Northern Ireland announced another three deaths today, bringing the total there to 438.
The total sum from the regions is greater than the figure put out by the Department of Health due to the way they are recorded.
Meanwhile, outside the UK the coronavirus death toll in Ireland has risen to 1,467 after a further 15 deaths were announced by the National Public Health Emergency Team.
Among the latest deaths was Naomi Derrig, who had type 1 diabetes when she died in Manchester over the weekend.
Naomi, 31, died suddenly in her sleep after celebrating at a VE Day street party and her heartbroken sister, said she had been "glowing".
It comes as:
Scientists have said men may be more likely to die from coronavirus - because their blood contains higher levels of an enzyme used by the bug to infect healthy cells.
It has also been revealed that taxi drivers, shop workers, chefs and security guards are most likely to die from the killer bug - but that medics are at no more risk than the public.
According to the Office for National Statistics, men working in the lowest skilled jobs had the highest rate of death involving Covid-19.
Security guards had one of the highest rates with 45.7 deaths per 100,000 (63 deaths).
UNLOCKDOWN
Last night Boris Johnson outlined the "first careful steps" for easing the lockdown as part of a three-phase plan to get back to normal life.
In an address to the nation he revealed a roadmap for getting Britain back on its feet, showing his new "stay alert, control the virus and save lives" slogan.
The new guidelines differ to those laid out in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, where people are still being told to stay at home.
Of his new plans, the PM said: "We have been through the initial peak – but it is coming down the mountain that is often more dangerous.
"We have a route, and we have a plan, and everyone in government has the all-consuming pressure and challenge to save lives, restore livelihoods and gradually restore the freedoms that we need.
"But in the end, this is a plan that everyone must make work."
Those who cannot work from home - including builders and factory workers - are now being urged to return to work under the new plan.
Primary school children will be phased back into the classroom from next month - with Years One and Six expected to return first.
And Brits will also be able to enjoy unlimited exercise from Wednesday as long as they follow social distancing guidelines.
CHAOS AND CONFUSION
But the new guidance has sparked some confusion, with many criticising a lack of clarity around the rules.
Roads and tubes were busy this morning after Boris told commuters they could head back to work - while Dominic Raab said they would only be allowed to do so from Wednesday.
The Foreign Secretary also left Brits baffled this morning by hinting you could meet up with more than one friend or family member in the park.

Downing Street has since confirmed people can meet up with one friend or family member outside of their home as long they keep their social distance.
Meanwhile comedian Matt Lucas revealed seven people he knows have now died from the killer bug.
He said: "I know seven people who have died. When the message from our PM is clear and effective, satirists like me will be out of a job. I'll be happy when that happens."
