health Secretary Matt Hancock said the new variant of the virus is spreading at a dangerous rate, and he announced that more areas will be raised to level 4 of the outbreak alert from 26 onwards.
The BBC reported that Hancock held a press conference in the afternoon and said that Sussex, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire in England will be raised to level 4 alert.
In addition, there are also many areas that were under a Level 2 alert that will be upgraded to Level 3, including Bristol, Somerset and others.
Hancock said the number of cases in the UK has increased by 57 percent in the past week, with an average of 1,909 people hospitalized each day, the highest number since mid-April this year. The number of confirmed cases in many areas is approaching the level of Level 4, and the original alert level is not sufficient to control the spread of the new variant of the 2019 coronavirus disease (Chinese communist virus, COVID-19) virus, so he announced that the alert level in some areas will be upgraded after Christmas.
According to the latest data, the United Kingdom 23 added 36,804 confirmed and 691 deceased people.
