The death toll of those hospitalized in Britain who tested positive for the novel coronavirus reached 8,958 in Britain, marking a record-high daily increase of 980 since the outbreak began, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said Friday.
About 19,116 tests were carried out across Britain Thursday, from which 5,706 people tested positive, said Hancock during Friday's Downing Street daily press briefing.
There is now capacity for "all key social care staff and NHS (National Health Service) staff" who need to be tested to get tested, he said.
