Great Britain exceeds 80,000 deaths and 3 million infections since the start of the pandemic. Although in the last 24 hours the number of deaths has slightly decreased, the figure remains above 1,000 (1,035 against 1,325 yesterday). New infections in the last 24 hours were 59,937 against 68,053 yesterday (with 620,000 swabs), according to government data.
The increase in hospitalizations is also alarming with the risk of hospital saturation. According to media reports, Johnson's government and police are determined to tighten up with fines and effective punitive measures against violators of the newly reintroduced lockdown.
