The number of people who have died after testing positive for coronavirus in the UK has increased by 113 to 578 in 24 hours.
At the end of Wednesday, the UK count had stood at 465.

The Department for Health and Social Care said it had changed the timescale for reporting its figures as of today, meaning the latest deaths were recorded between 5pm on 24 March and 5pm on 25 March.
However, there is a slight discrepancy in the figures provided by the Department for Health and Social Care and those announced by the individual regions.
NHS England said on Thursday that a further 107 people had died in England, taking the total to 521.
It said Wednesday’s low rise of 28 deaths was because they only covered 9am to 5pm – not 24 hours.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had announced three deaths in Scotland earlier, with the number of positive COVID-19 tests in the country having also increased from 719 to 894 – a rise of 175 in a day.
Public Health Wales said another six people had died and a further 113 people had been diagnosed with the disease, bringing the total number of confirmed cases there to 741.
Northern Ireland’s Public Health Agency said another three people had died after testing positive with the illness there, adding that the total number of confirmed cases had reached 241 – a rise of 32.
