Impressive increase in deaths in Germany due to Covid. For the first time, deaths in 24 hours exceeded 1,000. The health authorities of the Robert Koch Institute made it known this morning. In particular, there are 1,129 new deaths. Last week the latest record of 962 deaths was reached. More than 32 thousand victims in total.

New jump in the daily number of Covid deaths in the UK, which today peaks at 981 according to government data. Data that also point to another 50,023 infections, somewhat less than yesterday’s record, in the context of the spread of the so-called English variant of the virus, capable of infecting faster and putting hospitals under pressure. Health Minister Matt Hancock extended the severe restrictions on local ‘level 4’ blockades, which already affect London and more than half of the British population, to the Midlands and other areas of England. The reopening of schools in areas of Britain where the coronavirus situation is most critical will be postponed until January 18. This was announced by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at a press conference. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said there will be tens of millions of doses of vaccines in Britain by the end of March, but did not want to specify the numbers. “We are moving seas and mountains to distribute them as soon as possible,” he said.
