In the last week there has been an average of 32 daily deaths in the over-70s category, according to figures. On Tuesday, in all age groups, another 56 deaths and 4,040 cases were recorded around the UK. The paper says less than half of all deaths are now in the over-80s, compared to nearly two thirds before the vaccine was rolled out.
