A record 33,470 people have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK government’s latest daily figure.

It is the highest daily number since mass testing began in the UK, and brings the total number of cases to more than 1.29 million.

Government minister Alok Sharma said rising case numbers were “a reminder to us about why we are taking action to stop the spread of the virus”.

On Wednesday the UK became the first country in Europe to pass 50,000 Covid deaths.
