Covid: infections in GB return to 40,000

(ANSA) - LONDON, OCTOBER 26 - Daily contagions from Covid in the United Kingdom, reported today at 40,954, are back above 40,000 after a two-day break, albeit slightly, while deaths rise to 263, albeit weighed down by the statistical delay of part of the relative data at the weekend not counted the day before yesterday, when they had dropped to 38. However, the total number of hospitalizations remains below the guard level, which increased from 8200 to 8600 approximately, but far from the peaks of 39,000 recorded at the time of the waves of the past months thanks to the barrier effect attributed to the double vaccine administered so far in the country to 80% of the population over 12.
