The number of new confirmed cases of Corona 19 in the UK reached 50,000 for two consecutive days.
As the spread of Corona 19 caused by mutations did not subside, the British government decided to further strengthen countermeasures in each region.
The British government announced on the 30th local time that the number of new corona19 confirmed daily was 523.
On the second day after the previous day, which recorded the highest on a daily basis, it reached 50,000.
As a result, the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 2432,888.
On this day, 981 new deaths were added, and the cumulative death toll reached 72,548.
As the spread of Corona 19 did not stop, the UK sharply raised the level of response by region on this day.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced in the House of Representatives today that the Midlands and Northeast England, parts of Northwest England and parts of Southwest England will be upgraded from Phase 3 to Phase 4.
With the announcement that day, 44 million people, or 78% of England’s total population, are subject to the highest four-level restrictions.
In the strictest level 4, non-essential shops, beauty salons, and beauty salons are also banned, and you can only meet one member of the same household or another household member, even in public outdoors.
The reason the UK’s response to Corona 19 is getting stronger is because of the mutant virus, which has up to 70% stronger transmission power compared to the previous one.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on the BBC broadcast that 60% of confirmed cases of Corona 19 in the UK are now infected with the mutant virus.
