According to the statement from the Ministry of Health, the number of daily cases decreased by approximately 3,000 compared to yesterday and rose to 50,000.
Loss of life continued to rise to 981, “the highest death toll since April 24.” The total loss of life increased to 72,548.
The British press wrote that such an increase in casualties may be due to the fact that figures that could not be reported during the Christmas holidays are now being processed.
RESTRICTIONS OF “STAGE 4” INCLUDING THE TIGHTEST TIGHTENING MEASURES IN THE COUNTRY
Health Minister Matt Hancock stated that a more rapidly found strain of the Corona virus, first seen in the UK, has spread across the country and cases have “rapidly doubled”.
Hancock also announced that it was decided to add new ones to the places where strict restrictions were applied to limit the spread of the virus.
Thus, approximately 44 million people, 78 per cent of the population of England, were subjected to the restrictions of the “fourth stage”, which included the strictest measures in the country.
The fourth stage restrictions, which are considered “quarantine without a name,” include the closure of all commercial businesses where basic products are not sold, restaurants only deliver takeout, not being able to travel between cities unless necessary, and play all sports competitions without spectators.
