On 10 August 2020, the United Kingdom reported less cumulative deaths in the United Kingdom. This is due to revisions in historical data. On 13 August 2020, the United Kingdom did not report cumulative cases and deaths due to technical difficulties. Data will be updated as soon as it is made available.
