Yesterday's DoH '5pm figure' was 1,408:

I'm not sure where Sky are getting that 1,808 figure from but they'll be getting the same press releases I do.
I'd suggest just following the DoH direct on Twitter to get it straight from the horse's mouth:

The BBC are quoting 393 deaths in the last 24 hours too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-52101615

Ah I see, I never really clocked that the death number timestamps are out of step with the case numbers, I've just been following worldometer really - I think they're not taking that into account either and are just taking the numbers released today (which are really 'as of yesterday 5pm') as the numbers for today, full stop.
That makes sense, thanks! Not that it matters that much really whether everything is shifted by one day or not, but I was very confused for a bit.

I was just a bit confused because most news sources seem to be running with this just-under-400 figure being the deaths for today, such as here. Or all of these numbers actually for the day before anyway?
