The UK Health Minister, Sajid Javid, has considered this Monday that the country “will have a normal Christmas” Despite the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is worsening in recent weeks, while insisting that “at this time” the authorities do not consider it necessary to impose restrictions to contain the advance of the disease.
According to information collected by the BBC, Javid has also advanced the possibility that the COVID-19 vaccine is mandatory for personnel working in the public health system, although he has not given more details about it.
The British Ministry of Health has recorded another 36,567 cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, while another 38 people have died from the disease.
For his part, the medical director of the British public health system (the National Health System, NHS), Stephen Powis, has asked citizens to come to administer the booster dose of the immunizer. The NHS has sent out some two million ‘invitations’ to receive the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine this week.
Meanwhile, the British Ministry of Health has registered other 36,567 cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, while another 38 people have died from the disease. With the data released this Monday – which does not include Wales – the totals have increased to 8,809,774 and 139,571, respectively.
The British Government has trusted the development of the pandemic in the country and the lifting of restrictions to contain the advance of the disease to the vaccination plan against COVID-19. As of this Monday, 79.2 percent of the British population has the complete vaccination scheme.
