The death toll increased by 381 from Sunday, the largest rise in a single day.

The number of deaths from coronavirus in the United Kingdom rose by 27% in the space of a day, according to new figures on Tuesday that a senior cabinet minister described as shocking and disturbing.

“It depends on the actions of all of us,” he added. “We can delay that peak, we can flatten the curve through our own particular actions.” But Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed stringent controls after projections showed a quarter of a million people could die. Johnson has since become the first leader of a major power to announce a positive test result for coronavirus.Britain lags Italy, Spain and France in terms of the number of deaths, but they are still doubling around every 3.5 days.
