Britain records 13,972 new coronavirus cases and 50 more deaths as daily infections jump by 11% in a week
The UK today announced 13,972 new coronavirus cases and 50 more victims as millions of Brits were plunged into deeper lockdowns.
Today’s new infections are up 11 per cent from last Monday, when 12,594 cases were recorded, and triple the 4,368 recorded on Monday, September 21.
Data on September 28 was rendered invalid due to a counting blunder at Public Health England (PHE).
It’s possible that today’s infection count is an underestimate, due to a recording lag over weekends which skews figures on Mondays downwards.
The 50 new deaths are more than double the number of victims recorded last Monday and almost quadruple the amount the previous week.
