The UK has recorded more than one million lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus since the start of the outbreak, according to Government data.

Figures released on Saturday showed another 21,915 lab-confirmed cases were reported as of 9am, meaning the total now stands at 1,011,660.

Eight other countries have recorded more than one million cases of Covid-19, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.

If you have symptoms of #coronavirus, stay at home and book a test as soon as possible.

The symptoms are:
▶️ a high temperature
▶️ a new, continuous cough

On Friday, data compiled by the university showed the US had nine million confirmed cases of Covid-19, the highest number recorded by any country during the outbreak.

India, Brazil, Russia, France, Spain, Argentina and Colombia have also recorded more than one million cases.

The exact number of infections in the UK is thought to be far higher due to a lack of widespread testing during the start of the pandemic.

Rise steeply

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has estimated that 568,100 people in households in England were infected with coronavirus in the week ending October 23 as cases continued to rise steeply.

The figures, based on 609,777 swab tests taken whether people have symptoms or not, showed the highest rates in the North West and Yorkshire and the Humber.

Dr Yvonne Doyle, medical director at Public Health England, said: “For many among this million, getting infected has meant serious illness and even death.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
