Britain has reported another 22,868 COVID-19 infections - the highest since 30 January according to latest daily figures.
However, the number is likely to be inflated by a technical issue yesterday that meant some cases could not be counted.
Monday's figures also show that deaths remain low, with three more recorded within 28 days of a positive test.
The figures compare with 14,876 cases and 11 deaths announced on Sunday, and 10,633 cases and five fatalities last Monday.
Cases have risen steeply since the end of May, with the seven-day average going from around 3,500 to over 16,000.
Today's figures also show another 139,712 people had their first dose of a vaccine, while a further 123,555 received their second jab.
