The United Kingdom has registered, in the last 24 hours, 1,108 new cases of covid-19 in the country, according to official data released this Saturday by the British authorities.
According to figures from the United Kingdom Ministry of Health, cited by the Efe agency, there were twelve deaths from covid-19 in the last 24 hours, raising the total number of deaths to 41 498 since the start of the pandemic.
The official data includes deaths that occur within 28 days after a patient has tested positive.
Although infections in the country continue to hover around 1,000, British Health Minister Matt Hancock suggested, in statements published by “The Times”, that the restriction measures might not be lifted until after Christmas, to avoid another “increase.” “.
The official noted that “a second wave is clearly visible in other parts of the world,” which means “a very serious threat.”
“Cases are increasing again and we have to activate local containment measures and adopt new measures at the national level. We do not rule it out, even if we do not want it,” Matt Hancock told the British publication.
On the other hand, thousands of people from all over the country gathered in London’s Trafalgar Square to reject the restrictions imposed by the (Conservative) government of Boris Johnson to curb the spread of the pandemic, as well as to reject the campaigns that promote the paste vaccination.
According to Efe, among these people were skeptics who deny the existence of the coronavirus, supporters of conspiracy theories and militants of the anti-vaccine movement.
With posters against the World Health Organization (WHO), against the American businessman Bill Gates and against the restrictions of the conservative executive, the protesters called for an end to the mandatory use of masks and other standards, considering the pandemic as a “mistake”. or a “joke”.
