The UK coronavirus death toll has increased by 82 in the first toll below 100 since October. It was a drop from 158 deaths reported in all settings on Saturday and a 42 per cent drop from last Sunday's death toll of 144. There was a delay on publishing today's tragic death toll due to "processing issues". The Government dashboard said earlier: "Owing to processing issues for deaths in England, the numbers of deaths throughout the UK will be updated later." People aged between 56 and 59 are being invited to book Covid-19 vaccinations this week, NHS England said.
