The number of people who have died after contracting coronavirus in the UK has risen to 137.
It comes after NHS England confirmed 29 more people in England had died in the past 24 hours.
The latest deaths were people aged between 47 and 96 years old and all had underlying health conditions.
Earlier, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said three more people in Scotland had died after testing positive for coronavirus, taking the country’s total number of deaths to six.
She said the number doubled as she addressed MSPs in Holyrood, sending her condolences to those who had loved ones.
The total number of people in Scotland who have contracted COVID-19 stands at 266 – a rise of 39 in 24 hours.
She said the figure was “likely to be an underestimate of the true prevalence of the infection”.
The number of cases in Wales has also increased, with 24 new confirmed cases bringing its total to 170. Two people have died after contracting the virus so far in Wales.
The figures come after Northern Ireland recorded its first death.
On Thursday morning, the total number of confirmed cases across the UK stood at 2,689 but is expected to change later today.
The virus outbreak has continued to affect people’s lives across Britain.
