The spread of the virus has not stopped since the emergence of the mutant virus, with more than 40,000 new confirmed cases of Corona 19 in the UK for the first time.
The British government announced on the 28th (local time) that the number of new confirmed cases per day was 41385.
This is the largest on a daily basis since the pandemic (a global pandemic) began in March.
On the 23rd, which was the previous record, it increased by more than 2,000 people from 39,000,237, reaching 40,000 for the first time.
There were 357 new deaths per day that day.
It is analyzed that the rapid increase in Corona 19 in the UK is due to the emergence of a mutant virus that has up to 70% more transmission power than before.
This has resulted in the strictest COVID-19 level 4 restrictions in areas with 43% of England’s population, including the capital London, with a population of 24 million.
In addition, dozens of countries around the world including Korea, as well as Europe, restrict or ban entry from the UK.
As the number of confirmed cases increased rapidly, the number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the UK reached 21286 as of the 22nd.
