Britain Today Announced Just 15 More Covid-19 Deaths In The Lowest Daily Toll Since 10 Days Before Lockdown Was Introduced As The Outbreak That Once Terrorized The Nation Continues To Fizzle Out

Britain today announced just 15 more Covid-19 deaths in the lowest daily toll since 10 days before lockdown was introduced as the outbreak that once terrorized the nation continues to fizzle out. 
Department of Health statistics show 42,647 Britons have now died after testing positive for the coronavirus — but the actual number of fatalities has already topped 50,000 when all suspected fatalities are taken into account. 
And official statistics show just 958 more cases of the disease were diagnosed in the lowest 24-hour jump since Boris Johnson imposed the draconian restrictions to halt the outbreak on March 23 (967). 
It comes as the Prime Minister gets prepared to unveil a major loosening of social distancing rules tomorrow and is expected to announce an expansion of social 'bubbles' where people can mix freely.
The move is only possible because of the low levels of coronavirus, with Matt Hancock tonight saying only one in every 1,700 people are currently infected — down from one in 400 just weeks ago. 
The Health Secretary also revealed fewer than 5,000 coronavirus-infected Brits were in hospital for the first time since the peak of the crisis and said: 'We are clearly making progress.'
In tonight's Downing Street press conference, he said: 'Thanks to the patience and sacrifice of everyone watching, infection rates are falling, the NHS is restoring and the virus is in retreat.' 
The increase in deaths is the smallest one-day rise since March 13, when just one fatality was announced.

Fifteen Covid-19 deaths were also registered across all settings in Britain two days later on March 15.
Scotland has recorded zero deaths on six occasions in June, including no victims for the last two days. Northern Ireland has had no fatalities for 72 hours and tarvelzone.bookmark.com the East of England today saw no new victims. 
Separate analysis today showed more than 100 NHS trusts in England have now gone 48 hours without recording a single Covid-19 death — the equivalent of almost 80 per cent of all hospitals.
Although the number of deaths is always lower on Sundays and Mondays because of weekend delays to records, experts are convinced the virus is fading in the UK. 
One top scientist predicted last month that deaths were on track to hit zero by July, while a study published today suggested daily new confirmed cases could fall to nought within three weeks.
