The United Kingdom reported this Saturday
57,725 new cases
of covid-19 registered in the last twenty-four hours, the
highest figure to date
in the country as a whole since the beginning of the pandemic.
According to the latest official data released today by the British Ministry of Health, in addition to chaining
five consecutive days with more than 50,000 infections per day
, another 445 deaths from the disease were recorded, a lower number than the 613 reported yesterday.
In this way, the total number of positives for coronavirus in the United Kingdom since the beginning of the crisis
has already risen to 2,599,789
, while deaths from the disease reach 74,570.
Experts believe that these alarming levels of cases have been driven by the
emergence of a new, more contagious strain
, which has led to more areas in England since last Thursday, 75%, subject to the highest level of restrictions to try to contain the pandemic.
This serious situation threatens to overwhelm hospitals, experts warn, and has caused secondary schools, universities and many primary schools in the country to
delay the return to classes
- initially scheduled for next Monday - after the holidays in Christmas until January 18.
The president of the British College of Physicians, Andrew Goddard, warned today in statements to the BBC that Christmas and the new variant of the coronavirus will have
"a great impact" in the coming weeks
on the spread of the virus in the United Kingdom.
Faced with these worrying data, the country looks forward to next Monday, when it will be
able to fight the crisis with two vaccines
after the approval given this week to the Oxford and AstraZeneca preparation by regulators, who had already authorized the Composed of Pfizer / BioNTech.
