6,178 people tested positive for the virus in the UK, which rose yesterday. And another 37 deaths were reported – a total of 41,862. These are not numbers anyone wants to see. Ministers stressed that the stricter measures announced yesterday are enough to stop the spread of the disease, despite some key scientists. During the pandemic, half a million patients in England have waited more than six weeks to be diagnosed with conditions such as cancer and heart problems – fearing that people will not come to treatment while hospitals remove the delay.

Staff are working to treat all patients in another flood in Covid. ———————– Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/Channel4News .
