The number of deaths related to coronavirus infection in the United Kingdom today surpassed 100,000. According to the U.K. Department of Health, the number of deaths increased by another 1,631, reaching 100,162.
The UK, which has a population of around 67 million, is the first country in Europe to exceed this mark.
A sustained success in the fight against the coronavirus is expected to come from the vaccination campaign that is already in full swing in the UK. According to government figures, 6.9 million people have already received a first dose of the vaccine – that’s more than ten percent of the population. The second and final dose has so far been administered to 472,446 citizens, according to the data.
