A record that would have gone well for the United Kingdom. This Saturday, 708 deaths from the coronavirus were recorded on the other side of the Channel bringing the total of deaths to 4.313, according to the public health service of England. The kingdom's worst day was made even darker by the death of a 5-year-old child from the Covid-19.
The child's family did not want him to be identified. So far, the youngest victim identified in the UK has been a 13-year-old adolescent with no underlying pathology.
Among the 708 deaths recorded in hospitals, 637 patients aged 5 to 104 years died in England, he said in a statement. Forty of them (aged 48 to 93) had no other known health problem.
