New record for covid infection in the United Kingdom. In fact, the latest bulletin recorded 58,194 new cases and another 120 deaths, compared to 50,867 infections and 148 deaths in the last update.

And omicron-type infections are on the rise too: 448 new cases in the past 24 hours, taking the nationwide total to 1,265.

The growth trend is of great concern to British health officials and has prompted Boris Johnson’s government to implement the anti-Covid restrictions proposed by Plan B.
