It is the second day in a row that the death toll has dramatically fallen.

A further nine people have died after testing positive for coronavirus in Wales, bringing the total number of deaths there to 584, health officials said.
Public Health Wales said a further 276 people had tested positive for Covid-19, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 7,546.
Just over 900 tests were carried out on Sunday, with a total of 26,091 carried out in total across Wales.
Dr Giri Shankar, from Public Health Wales, said: “Based on the new case numbers there is emerging evidence suggesting a levelling-off in the number of new cases of Covid-19 in Wales, which may be an indication of the effectiveness of lockdown measures.
