In the UK more than 5000 deaths due to Covid: the situation is becoming a tragedy and the contagious people are increasing.

The Department of Health said that 208,837 people had been tested for Covid-19, 51,608 of whom had tested positive. Then the total number of deaths due to Covid-19 in the UK exceeds 5000 and rises to 5,373 after 439 more people died in 24 hours. However, the number of new deaths is lower than the daily death tolls at the end of last week.

While China, for the first time since January, recorded zero deaths, the UK data showed that between Thursday evening and Friday evening, 684 hospital patients with the virus died. And then between Friday and Saturday, 708 died.

Local authority has confirmed that four elderly residents have died after showing Covid-19 symptoms at a care home in Portsmouth. Many of those who affected said they felt as if “their lives and wishes do not matter”, they said in a joint statement.

The charities said the examples were “shameful and unacceptable”.

The nine signatories include Caroline Abrahams, director of Age UK, Deborah Alsina, chief executive of Independent Age, Donald Macaskill, chief executive of Scottish Care, and the Commissioners for Older People in Wales and Northern Ireland. The Health Secretary of the UK Matt Hancock, after the news that there were more than 5000 people who died due to Covid, has appealed to people to donate blood for research trials, saying it would help a national effort to fight the virus.
