413 people are reported to have died of coronavirus in UK hospital in the last 24 hours, taking the UK’s total to 20,732.

This is the lowest daily rise since the end of March.

29,058 tests were completed on Saturday – still way behind the target of 100,000 while the number of hospital admissions had fallen to 15,953.

At the daily Downing Street press conference Professor Stephen Powis, the National Medical Director of NHS England noted that there seemed to “hint of an increase in motor vehicles” and that there seems to be a slight increase in the number of people searching for directions on Apple Maps.

But he warned: “We need to ensure that this does not mean that we are not beginning to comply with the Government social distancing measures.

He added that over the last few weeks that previously upward curves in infections and deaths had started to declining.

That change has happened because people have been following the guidance. “My fear is that the curves could go in an upward direction again This is exactly the time to keep up the effort. The slight uptick in transport needs to be watched.”
