Great Britain registers over 34,000 new cases per day. British health experts warn of autumn.
British health experts are worried about the upcoming fall and winter with infection rates still high in the UK. On Wednesday, the British government reported nearly 34,000 new corona cases and 111 new deaths.
“This is very worrying,” immunologist Peter Openshaw told Times Radio on Thursday, especially because at present the weather is still relatively good and schools are still on summer vacation.
“We’re going into the winter with a very high level of infection and we really don’t know what’s going to happen,” Openshaw said. Seven-day incidence has been stagnant in the U.K. at just under 300 for some time, after a dip in case numbers in mid-July.
The number of Covid 19 patients admitted to the hospital recently rose again somewhat.
In England, Scotland and Wales, most Corona restrictions have been lifted. In England, even wearing masks in most public spaces is now a private choice. The UK is one of the hardest hit countries in Europe by Corona.
Since the start of the pandemic, more than 154,800 people have died there with Covid-19 on their death certificate.
