UK says coronavirus death toll up by 413 to 20,732

Britain's health ministry on Sunday said 413 more people had died after testing positive for COVID-19 in hospital, taking the death toll to 20,732

The figure is the lowest daily rise of fatalities reported by the UK since March 31.
Britain passed the grim milestone of over 20,000 COVID-19 deaths on Saturday.

Back in mid-March, the government's chief scientific adviser said that keeping the death toll below 20,000 would be a "good outcome".

The government is facing growing criticism over its response to the new coronavirus pandemic as the death toll rises. Britain was slower to impose a lockdown than European peers and is struggling to raise its testing capacity.
