As of Monday morning, 290,133 people have tested positive for the disease in Britain, a daily increase of 530, according to the department, Xinhua news agency reported on Monday.
Meanwhile, a London-based children charity warned Monday that deep budget cuts to education and rising poverty worldwide caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could force at least 9.7 million children out of school forever by the end of this year.
The world is facing a hidden education emergency as COVID-19 would leave an estimated US $77 billion gap in education spending for the world's poorest children over the next 18 months, said Save the Children in its Save Our Education report.
