Boris Johnson has admitted that hospital intensive care units face being overwhelmed unless coronavirus rates are brought under control.
The Prime Minister said there was a “very substantial” risk that ICUs would be unable to cope if numbers kept increasing.
Mr Johnson’s stark warning came as the daily reported death toll reached a new high, with 1,564 fatalities recorded within 28 days of a positive test.
The latest figures mean the grim milestone of more than 100,000 deaths involving coronavirus has now been passed in the UK, according to official data.
