UK incidence above 100,000 per day for the first time The number of officially reported coronavirus-infected Britons surpassed 100,000 per day for the first time. Real indicators can be much higher, but we are talking only about laboratory-confirmed diagnoses.

According to some British experts, at the peak of the first wave in the spring of last year, 150,000 people were infected daily in the UK.. However, then the country did not have such a huge scale of testing, and many people with a moderate or asymptomatic form of coronavirus did not even know that they were sick.. That is why the recorded 106,125 infections in one day is the most significant mark for the entire period of the pandemic.. However, even she has not yet pushed Boris Johnson to cancel Christmas, although hospitalization rates are also growing..

The jump is caused by the Omicron strain, and the number of cases, according to the government, is doubling every two days.. By the end of this year, the incidence may reach one million cases per day.. Some regions of the UK like Wales are imposing harsh restrictions, such as canceling all major New Years events..

True, the British respect Christmas more, and for them the New Year is not such a large-scale holiday as for the Russians..

As for England, Boris Johnson has not yet decided on the introduction of severe restrictions.. On December 18, 813 patients with coronavirus were hospitalized in the country, which is an increase of only 5% in a week. But the death rate fell by 15% and amounted to 140 cases.. For comparison, in our country it is steadily higher than 1,000 cases per day..
