London (HRNW) Britain’s daily Covid cases have fallen for the eighth day in a row, according to official figures that add fresh hope that the third wave may be behind the country.
Department of Health bosses posted 27,734 infections today, down 37 per cent on last week’s figure of 44,104.
However the downturn in infections is still yet to be reflected in hospitalisation numbers, with the UK seeing another 825 hospitalisations on Saturday — the latest date nationwide data is available for. It was 17 per cent higher than the number of people admitted with the virus the previous Saturday but there are signs the rate of growth is beginning to slow.
Meanwhile another 91 people died with Covid today, up by a quarter on last week’s total of 73. It was only the third time Britain recorded more than 90 victims since the end of March.
Separate data today revealed Scotland’s Covid hospitalisations are now falling in line with cases, raising hopes that England could soon follow suit.
