1,041 people died in the UK in a single day, with 60,000 diagnosed for 2 consecutive days

The country’s new coronavirus epidemic continues to burn, with 1,041 people dying on the 6th, the highest since April last year, and 62,322 people diagnosed, breaking 60,000 again after the 5th.

The UK from December 29 last year, the number of single-day confirmed exceeded 50,000 for the first time, the number has not been lowered below 50,000, 7 consecutive days confirmed broken 50,000, after the first breakthrough of 60,000 on the 5th, 6 and refresh the 5 day record, 62,322 people were confirmed.

In addition, 1,041 people died within 28 days of being diagnosed with the infection, the first time since April last year that the number of people who died in a single day exceeded 1,000.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced the third closure of England, but the effect of the closure will take some time to show.

health Minister Matt Hancock told the House of Commons that if the government did not implement the third closure, the health care system would be under too much pressure and doctors would be forced to adopt a rationing system. The UK currently has 30,74 confirmed patients in hospital.

He said that if no action is taken, the UK is afraid that it will face the same situation that the rest of the world is facing, with hospitals overflowing with patients and “physicians having to choose who can be treated and who must be turned away.”

The House of Commons debated by video on the 6th and will vote on whether to legislate the 3rd degree closure order. Johnson told Parliament that the new variant of the virus has led to “an unprecedented number of confirmed cases” and that the government has no choice but to return to a region-wide lockdown.

Johnson also said the vote would allow the closure to be in place until March 31, “but it doesn’t mean it will be a full closure until then, but it will allow regions to be gradually unblocked through stable, controlled, evidence-based decisions.”

But in response to questions from lawmakers, he said his statement that the unsealing could begin in mid-February was a “prudent assumption.
