(ANSA) - LONDON, JUN 21 - Contagions from Covid in the United Kingdom remain around 10,000 after the rebound fueled by the Delta variant (formerly Indian): in the last 24 hours there were 10,633 out of over 1.1 million tampons, according to updated data released by the government.
For now, the increase does not have the same impact on deaths, counted today at no more than 5, down compared to yesterday, although the total is probably lightened by the usual statistical lags of part of the data referring to the weekend which are generally recovered between Tuesday and on Wednesdays. Meanwhile, the vaccine race against time continues to curb the spread of the variant, with a sum of doses administered in the country now close to 75 million: that is, almost 60% of the adult population fully immunized and almost 82% vaccinated with a single dose. Prime Minister Boris Johnson remains cautious; questioned today by journalists on the sidelines of a visit to a research center, he defended the decision to postpone the last stage of the post lockdown reopening from 21 June to 19 July,saying he is optimistic that he can meet this deadline, but without completely ruling out new restrictions later. Johnson noted, among other things, that the Delta variant continues at the moment to produce a weekly increase of approximately 30%, and with a parallel gradual increase in hospital admissions as well. While he has insisted on generally discouraging travel abroad for tourism for the time being, remaining buttoned up regarding the hypothesis put forward by some media on the possibility of extending from the beginning of July even to a dozen countries - including Italy, Greece and the Spanish islands - the green list of destinations exempt from the precautionary return quarantine obligation.
