A total of 5,373 patients have died in the United Kingdom’s hospitals after testing positive for coronavirus, a rise of 439 in 24 hours.

The new deaths, which were from 5 pm on Saturday to 5 pm on Sunday, is slightly lower than the daily death tolls at the end of last week.

Between Thursday evening and Friday evening, 684 hospital patients with the virus died. Between Friday and Saturday, 708 died.

The Department of Health said that as of 9 am on Monday, 208,837 people had been tested, 51,608 of whom had tested positive.

Four elderly residents at a care home in Portsmouth have died after showing Covid-19 symptoms, the local authority confirmed.

A coalition of charities said older people are feeling pressured into signing “Do not attempt CPR” forms.

Organizations supporting the elderly said they were hearing “shocking examples” of blanket decisions seemingly being made about the care and treatment of older people.

Many of those who affected said they felt as if “their lives and wishes do not matter”, they said in a joint statement.
