UK reports highest daily rise of over 1 Lakh Covid cases
By MYBRANDBOOK
The UK government reported 106,122 new virus cases in the last 24 hours, the first time the daily figure has topped 100,000, as the Omicron variant spreads rapidly. The UK is one of Europe's most affected by the virus with 147,573 deaths since the pandemic began and more than 11 million positive cases.
In the past seven days, the country has reported 6,43,219 Covid-19 cases. In recent days, the UK is reporting the highest daily infections worldwide following the emergence of the Omicron variant. The country has reported 140 deaths in the past 24 hours. The government is urging the public to get third vaccine jabs and more than 30 million have received boosters so far.
Despite the surge in infection, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that people can go ahead with their Christmas plans. "But we are keeping a constant eye on the data and cannot rule out any further measures after Christmas. Please continue to be cautious, follow the guidance and get boosted now," he added.
With the Omicron variant spreading rapidly in Britain and record levels of cases over the past week, many industries are struggling with staff shortages, including hospitals that have warned of the risk of an impact on patient safety. There are currently 129 people in hospital with the Omicron variant and so far 14 people have died with it.
