From the BBC:
The government announced a further 1,725 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was "deeply sorry" for all the lives lost and promised the nation would "come together" to honour the dead once the crisis was over.
Latest government figures show that more than 7.1 million people in the UK have now received a first dose of a vaccine, and more than 470,000 people have had a second.
About 380,000 doses need to be given each day if the government is to reach its target of vaccinating the 15 million most vulnerable people by the middle of February.
In total, more than 6.2 million people in England have had one vaccine dose. In Scotland, 462,000 people have had their first dose, while the figure is 312,000 in Wales and 168,000 in Northern Ireland.
The government is aiming to offer all UK adults a vaccine by September.
