The figures are calculated by the Press Association and based on Public Health England data. The last few days of cases are not included as there are regularly amendments made to the case numbers.
New Covid figures came as the Prime Minister called a press conference to update the country on the development of a Covid vaccine.
Early findings from the Pfizer and BioNTech trial showed the vaccine, tested on 43,500 people in six countries, had managed to prevent 90 per cent of people from catching Covid-19.
Mr Johnson warned there were ‘several hurdles’ to go in being able to roll-out the vaccine.
He said 40 million doses of the vaccine had been ordered, enough to use on 20 million people as each vaccination requires two jabs.
Deputy chief medical officer Prof Jonathan Van-Tam said: “This is a very important scientific breakthrough. I am certain of that.”
The Prime Minister said it was ‘early days’ and the first ‘toot of the scientific bugle, coming over the hill had been made’.
