Just 2,000 cases a day out of a million tests, 35 deaths
(ANSA) – LONDON, APRIL 17 – The rush for vaccines continues in the United Kingdom, which exceeds 42.1 million doses administered (including almost 9.5 million boosters), maintaining a pace of about 500,000 injections per day despite the partial slowdown in supplies scheduled for April. This is certified by today’s data from the government of Boris Johnson, confirming for now the downward trend in infections – reduced to just over 2,000 in the 24 hours on approximately one million swabs performed – and the stabilization of the number of daily deaths to the lowest of these months (35 on the last day surveyed).
The situation in hospitals is also normalized at the moment, where in total there are just about 2,000 patients hospitalized for Covid nationwide and no more than 300 forced to be assisted in intensive care units. (HANDLE).
