The number of new infections, the number of deaths and hospital admissions have risen by more than 40 percent in the past week, according to Wednesday. The reason is the spread of the contagious delta variant, which is responsible for almost all cases of the coronavirus in the United Kingdom.
The seven-day incidence, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a week, has risen to 256.2.
“The United Kingdom has the highest vaccination rate in Europe, next to Malta,” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said earlier this week when he announced easing for Britain. Johnson wants to drop all corona rules from July 19th. On Wednesday he had to answer questions in parliament, but he avoided many questions.
