In Great Britain, with more than 42,000 new infections, the highest number of infections with the coronavirus since mid-January was recorded yesterday. The country had reached the peak of the second infection wave at the turn of the year.
Since mid-June, the number of new infections has been rising sharply again. This is due to the rapid spread of the delta variant in the country and the relaxation of coronavirus measures. On July 19, virtually all restrictions are scheduled to fall in the largest part of the country, England.
More than two-thirds vaccinated
The government expects there will be up to 100,000 new infections per day over the summer. Nevertheless, it is sticking to the opening plans. The background is the vaccination program, which is well advanced.
The link between infection rates on the one hand and hospitalizations and deaths on the other has been sufficiently weakened, it argues. More than two-thirds of all adults in the United Kingdom are now fully vaccinated. More than 87 percent have now received a vaccine dose.
