On Saturday, 12,872 new cases of infection were registered in the UK, ie closer to a doubling of Tuesday’s figures.
The high infection rates can, according to The Guardian explained by a technical error. The error has led to a delay in reported cases in the period between 24 September and 1 October. The cases of infection from this period have affected the current infection rates, and according to the newspaper will also affect the infection rates from the country in the coming days.
According to a spokesperson for the health service in the country, the health service does not know which cases of infection were registered on which days during the period of technical failure.
12,872 new cases today,but a note says “Due to a technical issue…the total reported over the coming days will include some additional cases from the period between 24 Sept and 1 Oct”
Does this mean local lockdowns have been missed because these cases were? What a shambles.
