(ANSA) – LONDON, JANUARY 27 – After a couple of days of slowdown, the decline of all data on the spread of Covid in the United Kingdom resumes: according to the data recorded in the last 24 hours, on a rising sum of swabs performed again equal to almost one and a half million, the infections were 96,871 after yesterday they had returned to over 100,000 for the first time in a few weeks: with a reduction on a weekly basis of 2.2%. The deaths instead amounted to 338, less than yesterday and the day before yesterday, and with a weekly decrease of 1.1%; while the national total of people admitted to hospitals on the island – which fell by 15.5% in seven days – is reduced to approximately 16,000 in ordinary wards with 561 ventilated patients in intensive care: both figures are at their lowest since the variant spread Omicron.
As for vaccines, the third booster doses now exceed 37 million administrations (European record), the second doses are close to 48.3 million and the first doses 52.3 million (91% of the entire population over 12 years) .
Indicators considered encouraging by the Minister of Health, Sajid Javid, on the day in which the path towards the return to Plan A in the anti Covid strategy wanted by the conservative government of Boris Johnson is completed with the revocation of the mini Green Pass vaccination imposed (on paper) in England from December only for access to discos and mass events and the legal obligation to wear masks everywhere. Obligation that at the local level remains in force only on public transport in London (overhead metro) by decision of the Labor Mayor Sadiq Khan, but without controls; while it is replaced by a recommendation in some establishments such as supermarkets under the Tesco brand, the largest British large-scale retail chain.
