The new figures bring the UK's total number of confirmed coronavirus-related cases to 2,073,511, with 67,616 deaths.
In hospitals in England, 190 deaths were reported among patients aged between 41 and 103, and each had tested positive for coronavirus. Eight other deaths were reported with no positive COVID-19 test result.
Wales has reported 10 new deaths, Northern Ireland confirmed seven more and Scotland's number of deaths did not rise.
Sunday's record number of daily cases across the UK was in part blamed on a newly-discovered strain of the virus, which is spreading in London and England's southeast.
