UK reports 6,874 new cases of COVID-19
The UK has reported 6,874 new cases of COVID-19 – a rise of 240 from Thursday.
A further 34 people are reported to have died within 28 days of testing positive for COVID-19 – a figure which does not include data from Scotland due to technical issues.
Despite the number of new cases, the UK is still nowhere near a realistic comparison to the peak of April and May, when Imperial College researchers have suggested there were more than 100,000 new infections a day.
