According to official statistics, there are 2,988 cases of the Coronavirus in the UK.
According to the UK government's Coronavirus Dashboard, it is reported in the highest number in the same day after an increase of 1,175 on May 22 and Saturday.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was "concerned" about the "relevant" increase in cases.
Two more deaths were recorded within 28 days of a positive test, taking the total number of DEATHS to 41,551 in the UK.
How much you can be affected by this disease, you can move others to the disease."
Despite the sharp increase in cases, Mr. Hancock said the government has the right to reopen schools "due to the impact on children who do not have education", adding that the work that has been reopened has been "Corona Safe".
Wales recorded a further 98 cases, its highest daily rise since 30 June, and Northern Ireland recorded 106 new cases, its highest rise since 25 April.
Overall, since the start of the pandemic, 347,152 cases have been confirmed in the UK
The number of daily reported cases has been rising steadily and some of that has been put down to an increase in the number of people being tested.
Put simply, the more you test the more new cases you will find. But the jump of more than one thousand in a day is a significant new spike.
The health secretary says the government is concerned and has renewed official calls for more vigilance on social distancing.
What Matt Hancock and health officials are worried about is that the UK might follow the same path as France and Spain, where increases in infections amongst younger adults led after a few weeks to higher numbers of admissions to hospitals for older and more vulnerable patients.
The number of people seriously ill in hospital with Covid-19 has fallen and there were just two new daily reported deaths.
Medical leaders and ministers can only hope that the spread of the virus amongst younger people does not get passed on to the elderly and those with underlying health problems.
Increased demand led bosses in charge of the coronavirus testing system to apologies after it emerged UK labs were struggling to keep up.
Screening capacity was described last week as being "maxed out" - 170,000 tests a day are being processed, up from 100,000 in mid June.
Meanwhile, speaking earlier on Sunday, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the economy "needs to have people back at work".
Mr. Raab acknowledged there was likely to be a "bit more" remote working in future.
Mr. Raab also played down suggestions that coronavirus testing at airports would help travellers avoid mandatory quarantine.
