The UK has reported another 24,248 coronavirus cases and 15 deaths, according to daily government figures.
It compares with 24,855 cases and 18 deaths yesterday, and 14,876 and 11 this time last week.
Another 137,389 people also had a first dose of a vaccine and 196,209 had their second jab.
It means 45,274,497 have had at least one dose, while 33,614,952 people are now fully vaccinated.
Total UK coronavirus-linked deaths within 28 days of a positive test stand at 128,222.
Cases have risen steeply over the last month, driven by the more transmissible Delta variant. The seven-day average on 1 June was 4,147, but by 1 July it had climbed to 24,809.
