Britain’s COVID-19 death toll has soared to almost 14,000, official government figures show, while the country’s health minister says it’s too early to lift the lockdown.
The number of deaths reported in the UK on April 15 due to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, fell 861 from its April 8 single-day peak of 938.
