Health authorities confirmed 16,060 people had died in hospitals across the country in 24 hours as covid 19 infections rose by 5,850 to 120,067.
Ministers tonight refused to give a date for schools returning, and shot down claims it could be in just three weeks time.
Gavin Williamson said “I can’t give a date” for relaxing any measures yet until the Government’s five key tests are met.
Coronavirus update – The UK’s search for a COVID-19 vaccine will be turbocharged with a multi-million pound coronavirus funding boost, Business Secretary Alok Sharma said tonight.
Ministers last night unveiled a further 21 projects which will get a slice of a £14million to help find a way out of the deadly pandemic, but it will still take many months to develop.
And they unveiled a new, national Covid 19 hit-squad of boffins to lead the mission to find a vaccine and cure.
In total £25million has been revealed to try and find the way out of the crisis.

Speaking to reporters outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa on Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said even under the best-case projections released earlier in the day by his government, it’s likely the “first wave” of COVID-19 peak infection will likely not end until the summer.
“Normality, as it was before, will not come back full-on until we get a vaccine for this… That will be a very long way off,” the prime minister said.
Trudeau said well after the initial peak of COVID-19 infection rates has passed in Canada, Canadians should expect “wavelets” of COVID-19 infections to keep popping back up until a reliable vaccination is developed.
