However, these numbers only include people who have died within 28 days of a coronavirus test result, and other measures indicate that the number of deaths is higher.
Daily deaths are continuing to rise
Deaths have risen again since the start of September after the first peak in April.
The government announced another 595 deaths across the UK on Wednesday.
Of these deaths, 478 were in England, 64 in Scotland, 45 in Wales and eight in Northern Ireland.
New cases remain elevated after a sharp increase
On Wednesday, the government announced another 22,950 confirmed cases.
Confirmed cases began to rise again in July, with the growth rate increasing sharply in September and October.
However, there are some signs that this growth has slowed slightly since the start of November.
The latest figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), which tracks Covid-19 in the community, indicate the increase in new infections may be stable.

In Scotland and Wales, one in 110 people has contracted the virus. One in 75, about 25,000 people, has the virus in Northern Ireland.
