A five-year-old boy died of Covid-19 in Britain, which announced Saturday that more than 708 deaths would be recorded within 24 hours, in a new record number raising the total death toll to 4313.
Child mortality in recent days has begun in more than one country of concern, and is partly skeptical of established medical convictions that put children out of danger.

The National Health Services Authority, which announced the child’s death, said in a statement that the latest recorded deaths included 637 patients between the ages of five and 104 years. It stated that forty of them were between 48 and 93 years old who had no known previous health problems.
