Britain has recorded a new high in new Corona infections. On Wednesday, authorities said 78,610 new cases were reported within 24 hours – the highest number since the pandemic began. The previous record was 68,053 new infections and had been registered on Jan. 8 of this year. South Africa also set a new record with 26,976 infections within one day. In both countries, the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly.
The British government has therefore accelerated the campaign for booster vaccinations. All adults are expected to receive a booster vaccination by the end of December – the rate was 43 percent by Wednesday.
Authorities also reported 165 new deaths on Wednesday. That brings the total number of people who have died from or with Corona infection in the United Kingdom to 146,791 since the pandemic began.
