Britain recorded the deadliest day today (Wednesday) since the outbreak of the corona plague in the country when 1,820 people died from corona disease.

Also yesterday the mortality rate was particularly high and stood at 1,630 people.

The reason for the sharp rise in mortality and morbidity is the outbreak of the mutation diagnosed in the UK among the local population and the failure of the authorities to contain it.

38,905 people have been infected with the virus in the past day in the UK, a significant drop from last week's data, but it is still very high.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, commented on the large and alarming mortality rate: "Despite the closure and effort of the vaccines, there will be many more deaths from the plague."

Johnson became the object of criticism in parliament today after Interior Minister Pretty Petal, a member of his party, accused him of refusing her decision to declare the borders closed in December.

Meanwhile, the UK announced today that more than 4,600,000 have received the first dose of corona vaccine.

The country hopes to speed up the immunization process in the coming weeks with the entry of Asterzanica vaccines into the health authorities' databases.

In the UK, more than 93,000 people have died from corona disease since the outbreak.

The country entered the most severe closure it has known at the beginning of the month and entire parts of the country are under stringent restrictions.
