Scotland and Northern Ireland have both reported no new coronavirus deaths as the UK saw its lowest number of fatalities since March.
Scotland’s announcement on Sunday marks the first time it has seen no Covid-19 deaths since lockdown began back in March.
Northern Ireland has previously seen days with no deaths.
Across the UK, a further 77 people have died after contracting coronavirus, bringing the total number of fatalities to 40,542.
However, there are fears that as lockdown is eased, cases across the UK could rise.
The U.S. reached the grim milestone of 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus, the highest official toll in the world. Earlier this month, the president revised the death toll estimate to “hopefully under 100,000.” Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious-disease expert, said there’s a “good chance” a vaccine may be deployable by November or December. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidelines for reopening office buildings.

American deaths from the coronavirus passed Italy’s, affirming the U.S.’s spot as the epicenter of the global pandemic.
Deaths from the virus reached at least 19,563 in the U.S. after New York reported 783 new fatalities, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News and Johns Hopkins University.
The heavy toll in the U.S. — and much of Europe — is linked to the failure to enact widespread measures like mass testing and social distancing early enough to prevent the virus from taking hold. Parts of the U.S. were still not locked down in recent days, creating the opportunity for wider spread in places that haven’t suffered as much as hot spots in New York and Detroit.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) confirmed cases crossed the mark of 1,000 in India. There have been 27 fatalities due to this virus so far.
