There have been slotxo game more than 4.5 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK and nearly 128,000 people have died, government figures show.
However, these figures include only people who have died within 28 days of testing positive for coronavirus.
Almost 42 million people in the UK have now had their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine.
Cases now on the rise again
After a substantial decline since the start of the year, the average number of daily confirmed cases is now rising.
A further 7,673 confirmed cases in the UK were announced by the government on Tuesday.
With the rise in cases being driven by the more transmissible Delta variant, the government has decided most coronavirus rules will remain in place for another four weeks.
The original 'roadmap' had set 21 June as the date by which all legal restrictions on social contact would end.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said delaying to 19 July would give the NHS time to carry out more vaccinations, and it would be sensible to wait "just a little longer".
Concern over Delta variant
The so-called Indian variant, named the Delta variant by the World Health Organization, is now the main type of coronavirus in the UK.
Early data suggests it spreads faster than the Kent variant (now named the Alpha variant), which had previously been the most common.
There is also evidence that the first dose of a vaccine doesn't work as well against the Delta variant as it does against the older one - but that worry fades once you have had two jabs.
The areas that have seen the highest proportion of Delta variant cases include Bolton, Blackburn with Darwen and Bedford, as the map below shows.
