Britain’s rise in infections: 3,000 cases in one day, highest peak since May

Coronavirus infections rebound UK: after days of substantial stability between one thousand and two thousand, in the last 24 hours the cases have been almost 3 thousand. The Ministry of Health registered 2,998 cases: a peak not seen since May, with a rebound of more than a thousand more than the day before. The number of tampons, in the last week, has settled at around 175 thousand a day.

But the dead are dropped to 2, the absolute minimum since the start of the pandemic, except for a single day in August. In total, 41,551 people have died in the UK since the start of the health emergency. General hospitalizations for COVID-19 (756) and patients in intensive care (69). Although the hospital situation is still under control, British specialists fear the consolidation of new localized foci found mainly in north-central England. And we look with concern to mid-September, when masses of students will return to the country’s universities, reopened to ordinary courses after the digital regime during the closure.

Keir Starmer’s Labor opposition intensifies pressure on the government to airport tests, also with the aim of reduce the duration and scope of quarantine for travelers arriving to the Kingdom from the countries most affected by the coronavirus. However, an option that the conservative government of Boris Johnson deems “ineffective” if not really “misleading”, citing studies according to which the instant buffer could identify no more than 7% of infections and therefore runs the risk of making sense of false security who is negative.

In Europe – More than 7 thousand new cases of Covid-19 They were detected in France in the last 24 hours, below the previous two days, when infections were close to 9,000 cases a day, according to data released by the General Directorate of Health. Seven other departments They have been classified as high-risk ‘red zones’ for coronavirus, bringing to 28 the number of zones where it is possible to take “reinforced measures” to contain the pandemic. A specific decree was published in the Official Gazette, with “immediate” effect. These are the North, Bas-Rhin, Seine-Maritime and Côte-d’Or departments, four departments that include large cities such as Lille, Rouen, Le Havre, Strasbourg and Dijon, plus two departments of Corsica (Corsica-Sud and Haute- Corse) and the island of Meeting, in the Indian Ocean, where several schools had been closed shortly after opening. In Germany On the other hand, the latest data published on infections speak of 1,378 registered in the last 24 hours.

In the world – The pandemic continues its course, touching the 27 million infections in the world: The United States, with more than six million cases, is confirmed as the most affected country. Boom in India, which achieved the highest number of positives ever recorded in a single day: 90,632, bringing the total to more than 4 million.
