UK coronavirus death toll rises by 121 up to 36,914 - the second-smallest increase since March

A further 121 people in the UK have died with coronavirus, bringing the total to 36,914. The deaths - which were recorded in the 24-hours to 5pm on Sunday - took place in hospitals, care homes and the wider community.
