UK is facing again an increase in COVID-19 cases. The biggest problem is that cases of infection among vaccinated adults are increasing rapidly. In Britain, 42,302 new cases of coronavirus infection have been reported in the last 24 hours and 49 more people have died. This information was received from government data on Wednesday. This is the highest daily number of cases since January 15, when 55,761 cases were reported. On Tuesday, 36,660 cases of COVID-19 were reported and 50 patients died. The increase in cases comes at a time when most of the UK is due to lift all lockdown restrictions from next Monday.
UK Health Minister Sajid Javid announced that two-thirds of adults in the UK have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Javid said on Twitter, ‘Now two-thirds of adults in the UK have received both doses of the vaccine. We have achieved our goal in about a week. This is a huge achievement. Thanks to everyone who came forward. The vaccine is our shield against the virus.
Senior Virus Tracking Specialist at King’s College London, UK, Prof. Tim Spector says that the peak of the third wave of the epidemic has arrived in Britain. Adults who have been vaccinated account for 87.2 percent of the total infection cases. On July 6, the virus was found in 12,905 people who had been vaccinated. It is clear from this that 50 percent of the total patients found on July 6 were found in people who had been vaccinated.
The Director of Public Health of the very important South Teesside Council, Prof. Tom Hall says that in the ongoing third wave in Britain, cases of infection among people who have been vaccinated are increasing rapidly. The next seven days in Britain are very important. There is an appeal to the people to follow the corona rules so that the virus can be stopped from spreading. Any carelessness in following the rules can make the situation worse.
Before this, on July 6, 33 thousand new patients were found in a single day. There has been a 2.4 percent drop in symptomatic infections among UK citizens who have not been vaccinated. On July 5, 20,973 such patients were found which had come down to 20,487 on July 6. Experts estimate that in the coming time, more than three thousand patients will be admitted to the hospital every day, which will create difficulties.
