    Coronavirus in United Kingdom LIVE Updates | UK becomes fifth country to exceed 50,000 COVID-19 deaths

    The United Kingdom has become the fifth country in the world to record more than 50,000 coronavirus-related deaths. Figures from the British government showed that 595 more people in the country died within 28 days of testing positive for the novel coronavirus, the highest daily number since May. The figure took the UK's total death toll in the pandemic to 50,365. The UK, which has persisted in having the most virus-related deaths of any European country, joins the United States, Brazil, India and Mexico in reporting more than 50,000 COVID-19 deaths, according to a tally maintained by Johns Hopkins University. The UK's death toll is widely considered to be higher as the total only includes those who have tested positive for the virus and doesn't include those who died of COVID-related symptoms after 28 days.
