The UK has reported 51,870 new COVID-19 cases in the latest 24-hour period - the highest number since 15 January.
Some 49 coronavirus deaths have also been recorded in the last 24 hours.
It comes just days before the government eases all social distancing restrictions and mask-wearing rules in England, despite objections from medical experts.
On Thursday there were 63 deaths and 48,553 new COVID-19 cases confirmed and 42,302 new infections were confirmed on Wednesday, along with 49 fatalities.
Earlier on Friday, it was confirmed that England's R number had dropped slightly to between 1.2 and 1.4, despite the increase in coronavirus infection rates.
Data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that more than half a million people in private households in England are likely to have had COVID-19 in the week to 10 July.
This is equivalent to approximately one in 95 people in England.
