The data comes after Boris Johnson called on Brits to show "common sense" in their approach to the coronavirus lockdown.
Mr Johnson revealed his roadmap out of the crisis to get the country back to school and work without risking a huge second wave of infections.
He said more information would be comming, but added that people should use "good, solid British common sense".
CONCERNING FIGURES
The latest figures from the National Records of Scotland, published last week, showed 2,795 deaths involving Covid-19 had been registered in Scotland up to May 3.
And the latest figures from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, also published last week, showed 516 deaths involving Covid-19 had been registered in Northern Ireland up to May 6.
Together these figures mean that so far 38,355 deaths have been registered in the UK where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate, including suspected cases.
In England's hospitals 1,678 patients died from coronavirus from May 2 and May 10, according to NHS England.
This brings the over all death toll to just over 40,000.
Nick Stripe, head of health analysis at ONS, said "It is actually the seventh highest weekly total since this data set started in 1993 so we have had four out of the top seven weeks in the last four weeks."
CARE HOME CRISIS
It also how been revealed that almost 10,000 people have died of coronavirus in UK care homes, including 1,558 in ONE week, shock new figures reveal.
The dead bug had a devastating impact on the elderly and care home deaths account for one in four of all Covid-19 fatalities.
In the week up to May 8, there were 1,503 deaths in care homes in England and a further 55 in Wales.
In England there were 8,314 deaths in care homes between April 10 and May 8, according to the Care Quality Commission.
In Wales there were 350 coronavirus care home deaths from March 17 to May 8, while there were 1,195 in Scotland and 232 in Northern Ireland.
There has been anger among care home operators, staff and relatives the government has underestimated the severity of the impact of the disease in care.
The Prime Minister has admitted he "bitterly regrets" the coronavirus epidemic that has devastated the country's care homes.
BAME BRITS VULNERABLE
The government believes that Britain has passed the peak of the coronavirus crisis.
But Downing Street has warned there could be a second wave of the killer bug - with the BAME community more at risk.
Startling figures show that black Brits are four times as likely to die from coronavirus as white people.
Bangladeshi and Pakistani people are more than 50 per cent more likely to die from the virus as white people - with people of Indian and mixed heritage also more at risk.
The stark difference is partly down to black, Asian and minority ethnic people being more likely to live in poor areas and do jobs that put them at risk.
But even when those factors are taken into account, black Brits are still twice as likely as white ones to die of the disease.
EUROPEAN DEATH TOLL
It has been reported that the concerning figures now mean that Britain has the highest coronavirus death toll in Europe.
However, when population is taken into consideration our casualties are still lower than Italy – the previous epicentre for covid-19 – and Spain at the same point of their outbreaks.
The figures show that the UK has currently recorded 482 deaths per million - below the 509 fatalities per million in Italy.
Meanwhile, Spain has recorded 26,744 deaths amid the population of 46.7million, equating to 572 per million.

Differences in how each country reports its data means that the grim-looking comparison might not be quite as it appears.
When the ONS publishes its coronavirus data that includes all deaths from the bug – including in care homes and hospitals.
However, this is not always the case in other European nations.
