– The number of new coronavirus infections (Corona 19) in the UK exceeded 40,000 for the first time. There were 357 new deaths per day. It is interpreted that the rapid increase in Corona 19 in the UK is due to the appearance of mutations that have 70% more spreading power than before.
The British government announced on the 28th (local time) that the number of new confirmed cases per day was counted at 41,385. It is the largest in the UK on a daily basis since the pandemic (a global pandemic) began in March. This is the first time in the UK to record 40,000 people a day. The previous record was 39,237 on the 23rd.
The number of countries invaded by mutant viruses is also increasing. An infection case was confirmed on the 28th in Finland. Citizens returning to Finland during the Christmas holiday in England were confirmed. Switzerland and Norway also reported cases of mutant virus infection on the 26th and 27th.
