There were 2,589 new infections in the past 24 hours, and another 40 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.

After the latest figures, the UK's death toll stands at 127,080 and the total number of infections is 4,368,045.
It comes after scientists tracking the epidemic say there is increasingly strong evidence to show that the UK's vaccination programme is breaking the link between coronavirus cases and deaths.
A study, commissioned by the government and run by Imperial College London, found that infections had fallen by roughly two-thirds since February, before beginning to level off.
This is probably due to people beginning to mix more - but deaths have not followed the same pattern.
However this was not the case before January, when the vaccine rollout began.
