But new evidence of infections in nursing homes has raised concerns about the decision to delay the second dose – which leaves the most vulnerable people without adequate protection. According to the last 24 hours, 1,280 more people have died, for a total of 94,580 in the UK. At nine o’clock yesterday morning another 37,892 new cases occurred in the UK and 363,508 people received the first dose of the Covid vaccine, the highest figure in 24 hours so far. ———————– Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/Channel4News .
