UK suffers record-breaking 563 coronavirus deaths in 24 hours

UK is bracing itself for the worst as it suffered record-breaking 563 coronavirus deaths and 4,324 cases in 24 hours. This takes total number of victims to 2,352 with almost 30,000 Britons known to be infected.

Britain now has almost three times as many dead patients on account of coronavirus as Germany despite only half as many positive tests. It may be added that UK's coronavirus death toll has soared by 1,124 in just 3 days - from 1,228 on Sunday to 2,352 on Wednesday. 

The youngest victim today was a 13-year-old, believed to be Ismail Mohamed Abdul Wahab from Brixton, London, whose tragic death came to light last night after he died at King's College Hospital on Monday. The oldest patient included in today's update was 99 years old.

The true size of the outbreak remains a mystery because of the UK's controversial policy to only test patients in hospital - and not the tens of thousands of Britons with milder symptoms who are recovering at at home.
