vaccinating

at least

15 million

residents against Corona

by mid-February

.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke of a "milestone" on Sunday.

"This country has done an extraordinary job," tweeted the head of government on Sunday.

The responsible State Secretary Nadhim Zahawi tweeted: “15,000,000!

Great team. "

Johnson had given this number as a milestone for February 15 at the beginning of the year.

more than 14.56 million

people received a first dose.

Since several hundred thousand vaccinations are administered every day, it is obvious that the threshold of 15 million has now been exceeded.

Meeting the target is considered the first real success by Johnson's government in the corona pandemic.

Corona worldwide

China

reports another slight decrease in the already low number of new corona infections.

It fell from eight to seven, as the National Health Commission announced on Sunday.

These are exclusively imported cases.

In January there was the largest outbreak in the People's Republic since March 2020, which initially concentrated in the northeastern province of Hebei, which surrounds the capital Beijing. Thereafter, the infections spread to the northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin. However, the data of the past few days suggest that China has got the situation under control - in time for the Chinese New Year celebrations.
