5,000 deaths and 400,000 COVID infections in UK in first week of 2021
In the first seven days of this year, 4,952 people have died in Britain from COVID-19, with 400,639 newly infected.
At the height of the pandemic in April over 1,000 people were regularly reported dead in daily tallies. This grim milestone was passed again Wednesday, with 1,041 dead. This was the 10th time during the pandemic that more than 1,000 people had died in a single day.
The same day, the UK entered lockdown after new national restrictions were agreed by MPs.
