The Corona continues to hit in the UK: 569 people died of the virus in the last day in the kingdom, authorities said in the kingdom on Thursday.

The British Ministry of Health also reports that there are an additional 4,244 cases of infections across the UK today, with 33,718 people.
At the same time the hard data in the Kingdom is being criticized by the British government due to the low level of testing recorded in the UK. While in Germany there are about 500,000 tests a week, in the UK the numbers are very low and only about 10,000 tests are done a day.
The government's slow response, leading to harsh criticism, and even a rise in the number of dead, stems from government estimates at the beginning of the outbreak that its impact will be flu-related, and in addition, the government's attempts to create "herd immunity" in the first days of the outbreak caused delays in the release of closure guidelines In the world.
In addition, the British Prime Minister's Office announced yesterday that more than 2,000 medical personnel in the country have been infected with the Corona virus and that the National Health Service is diverting its resources to staff inspection to allow them to return to work and avoid the collapse of the health system.
Minister Michael Gove said there was a severe shortage of chemicals needed to test the corona and that the National Health Service was not yet able to inspect all workers who needed the examination. A spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office told the BBC: "The government is working with the National Health Service to ensure that the number of tests and laboratories available will increase significantly."
