The number of UK infections of coronavirus has risen by 232 to 1,372, the Department of Health has announced.

Fourteen more people have now died in the UK after testing positive for the virus, bringing the total to 35.

It comes after Nick Matthews was named as the youngest coronavirus victim yet, having died at the age of 59 on Saturday morning. He was being treated at the Bristol Royal Infirmary and had underlying health conditions.

People aged over 70 will be asked in the coming weeks to self-isolate for up to four months in order to protect them from the coronavirus, Health Secretary Matt Hancock says.

In an article for the Telegraph, the Health Secretary, has said that "our generation has never been tested like this" as the government steps up its response to the coronavirus pandemic.
