More than 7.6 million people in the UK are now fully protected against coronavirus, Sky News reported data from the latest official figures.

Sunday saw the number of second doses given out climb by 189,665 to 7,656,205, while first jabs administered increased by 69,223 to 32,190,576.

On Monday there were 3,568 confirmed coronavirus cases and 13 deaths, comparing 1,730 cases and seven deaths reported yesterday.

The latest statistics come on a big day for the UK so far as lockdown restrictions are concerned, with non-essential shopping and outdoor hospitality back on the cards for people in England - as well as a gym session and a haircut.
