Britain on Saturday reported a record 708 daily deaths from COVID-19, including a five-year-old child, who is thought to be the country's youngest victim.The health ministry said 4,313 people who tested positive for the virus in hospital had died as of 1600 GMT Friday while there were 41,903 confirmed cases as of 0800 GMT Saturday, up 3,735. The toll has been steadily increasing by more than 500 deaths a day this week and the country is bracing for an expected peak in the next week to 10 days. A total of 637 of the latest deaths were in England, the National Health Service (NHS) said. "Patients were aged between five years and 104 years old. 40 of the 637 patients (aged between 48 and 93 years old) had no known underlying health condition," it said in a statement. The NHS said it would not be giving further information about the five-year-old patient at the request of the family.

Senior minister <keyword id="6379636" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="michael-gove">Michael Gove</keyword> told a daily briefing that the teenager's mother and siblings were now showing symptoms.

But there has been concern that warmer weather forecast for this weekend could tempt people from their homes to green spaces and public parks. Health Secretary Matt Hancock has warned against any relaxation in social distancing, saying: "If we do, people will die." Imperial College London epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who is advising the government, told BBC radio on Saturday a peak was expected around the Easter weekend. "We still think things will plateau but we'll be at quite high levels of infection for weeks and weeks rather than seeing quite a rapid decline as the type seen in China," he said. But he said that was dependent on people staying at home. If that happened, it could lead to less stringent measures in place "at least by the end of May", he added. The announcement of another record rise in deaths came after 13 residents at a care home in Glasgow died in one week in a suspected outbreak of <keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="coronavirus">coronavirus</keyword>. The Burlington Court Care Home said those who died had underlying medical conditions and two staff members were being treated for COVID-19. Tests for coronavirus are currently carried out on the most serious cases that require hospital treatment, suggesting the true extent of confirmed cases and deaths is an under-estimate. The government meanwhile announced that up to 4,000 low-risk prisoners near the end of their sentence could be release from jails in England and Wales to try to stop the spread of COVID-19. A total of 88 prisoners and 15 prison staff have tested positive for the virus, and there is concern it could spread rapidly because of shared cells and overcrowding. The justice ministry said those released would be electronically tagged and temporarily released on licence in stages. High-risk offenders will not be considered for early release. The national medical director for NHS England, <keyword id="8943250" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="stephen-powis">Stephen Powis</keyword>, condemned vandals who attacked new 5G mobile phone network masts, after discredited claims it helped spread the virus. Powis called the theory "absolute and utter rubbish" and said he was "absolutely outraged (and) disgusted" that vital infrastructure had been targeted during a national emergency. "The reality is that the mobile phone networks are absolutely critical to all of us, particularly in a time when we're asking people to stay at home and not to see relatives and friends. "But in particular they are also the phone networks that are used by our emergency services and our health workers," he added. Later Saturday, news emerged that the British singer and 1960s pop icon Marianne Faithfull had been admitted to hospital suffering from the virus. "She is stable and responding to treatment," music industry publicists Republic Media tweeted. "We wish her well and a full and speedy recovery."

A five-year-old child among new UK Coronavirus victims

By Aditi Khanna London, Apr 4 () The family of a 13-year-old boy, who became the UK's youngest victim of coronavirus this week, was unable to attend his funeral as they are self-isolating with symptoms of COVID-19. Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab, 13, from Brixton, south London, died at King's College Hospital in London on Monday after he lost his fight against the disease. He was buried at Chislehurst in south-east London on Friday but his mother and six siblings were unable to attend. A friend of the family said they were "devastated" not to attend but a live stream was arranged for them. "It's extremely upsetting for everyone involved, but they have been very moved by the warmth and very positive messages of support from people following their appeal," said Mark Stephenson of Madinah College in London in a short speech at the service, who had initiated an online fundraiser for the family. He revealed that Ismail's younger brother and older sister had both developed mild symptoms of COVID-19, including a temperature and loss of taste. More than GBP 67,000 has now been raised for the family on the GoFundMe appeal set up by him. Madinah College said it had been "overwhelmed" by the generosity of the donors as the appeal way overshot the initial target. It has confirmed that any extra money raised will also go directly to the family. The schoolboy from Brixton in south London had no known previous health issues when he started showing symptoms of coronavirus last week and was rushed to hospital after he had trouble breathing. There he tested positive for COVID-19 and was put on a ventilator then into an induced coma but never recovered. "We are beyond devastated. To our knowledge he had no underlying health conditions," said a statement released by the family. King's College Hospital expressed condolences to the family as it confirmed that the boy's death had been referred to the coroner. It is extremely rare for teenagers to become seriously ill after being infected with coronavirus, with elderly patients and those with underlying health conditions considered most at risk. The news of the boy's death came in the week that the UK registered its biggest day-on-day leaps in death toll, crossing the 500 mark, and hitting a total of 3,605 deaths from the deadly virus on Friday.
