Coronavirus claims the lives of 667 more people in England
ANOTHER 667 people in England have died after testing positive for coronavirus.
In the country, the deadly virus has now claimed the lives of 10,261 people.
The youngest person was 17 years old and the oldest was 101.
40 of the 667 patients who died yesterday, aged between 37 and 98, had no known underlying health conditions.
There has been some backlash that the figures are skewed as others die in care homes, their own homes and without a test result.
