Coronavirus: Can herd immunity help the UK battle the outbreak?

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Described by Boris Johnson as “the worst public health crisis for a generation,” the coronavirus outbreak has infected more than 152,000 people in Britain already.

The government has issued new guidance requiring the public to stay at home at all times apart for in a limited set of circumstances to stop the spread of the virus.

The Ministry of Health has been releasing daily figures on the number of people who have been tested for Covid-19 in the UK since 25 January.

Here is a breakdown of the daily tally, including the death toll, the number of people who have tested positive and negative and the total number tested.
