COVID-19 crisis could return quickly as infections surge, UK adviser warns
The Peninsula
LONDON: England's coronavirus crisis could return again surprisingly quickly and the country is not yet out of the woods, the British government's chief medical adviser said, as infections surged ahead of the lifting of legal restrictions.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is removing most pandemic restrictions in England from July 19, saying a rapid rollout of COVID-19 vaccines has largely broken the link between infections and serious illness or death. Some scientists are worried, though, with daily reported cases are over 40,000 for the first time since January, and the reproduction "R" number remained above one, indicating a continued exponential growth of cases.More Related News
