China News Service, April 1. According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on the 1st, last week (March 20-26), there were 4.9 million new confirmed cases of new crowns in the UK, a record high.
According to the latest estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), 4.9 million people in the UK were infected with the virus between March 20 and 26, up from 4.3 million in the previous week.
The figure is also the highest since the tally began in April 2020.
ONS figures show 1 in 13 people in England, or about 7.6% of the population, have contracted the virus, compared with 7% in Wales, 8.6% in Scotland and 6.7% in Northern Ireland .
At present, the new crown virus is still spreading rapidly in the United Kingdom. The main reason for this is that the mutant strain of Omicron is more infectious.
In addition, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) recently released a report saying that three new crown variants have been confirmed to be reorganized.
