A 19-year-old with no underlying health conditions died after testing positive with the coronavirus.
NHS England have revealed today that a further 367 people, who tested positive for Covid-19 have died, bringing the total number of confirmed deaths in England to 1,651.
The patients were aged between 19 and 98 years old and all but 28 patients had underlying health conditions.
England’s deputy chief medical officer Jenny Harries in today's conference said the deaths of young people highlight the need to social distance.
She said: “They are really sad reminders that it doesn’t matter what age you are, you should be staying at home and observing all the social distancing measures we have highlighted.”
