Covid-19 infections in UK down 40% on last week but Downing Street warns the pandemic is not over yet
The i says the Government is seeking to dampen excitement about a potential peak in Covid-19 infections as the daily case figure fell for the sixth consecutive day.
Boris Johnson believes that the impact of last Monday’s “freedom day” will drive infections up again meaning the UK is “not out of the woods yet”, a spokesman said.
The number of infections reported on Monday was 24,950, a drop of 40 per cent on the figure from one week earlier. It is the lowest daily number for more than three weeks and confirms that the decline in cases is not just a statistical quirk.
