LONDON: A surge in coronavirus cases in the United Kingdom is of “extreme concern”, a health boss says, as a record number of cases was reported for the second day running.
On Tuesday, 53,135 new COVID cases were recorded as well as 414 more deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
Not all data was reported in full over the Christmas period, leading to a lag in some data, but Public Health England said there had been a “real increase”. Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock said the NHS was facing “unprecedented pressures”. Ahead of an announcement on any changes to England’s tier restrictions on Wednesday (today), Hancock added in a tweet: “We must suppress this virus to protect our NHS & save lives until the vaccine can keep us safe.” Mr Hancock will reveal whether restrictions in local areas are being toughened up or eased for the final time in 2020, reports BBC.
