Britain records 53,135 Covid cases in record daily high and another 414 deaths with Boris Johnson set to decide new tiers TONIGHT amid fears two-thirds of England will fall under Tier 4 from tomorrow
Britain today recorded 53,135 more coronavirus cases in a record daily high and 414 deaths as the second wave of the disease continues to grow with a highly-infectious strain spreading rapidly across the country.
Today's infection tally is the highest toll officially recorded by the Department of Health in a single 24-hour period and it marks a sharp 44 per cent rise on last Tuesday's figure of 36,804.
But officials can't be sure if this is Britain's worst day of the pandemic so far because a lack of testing in April masked the true scale of the peak of the first wave. Top scientists estimate up to 100,000 people were catching the disease every day during the darkest days in spring.
On a personal note, I've still never met anyone who has had it.. This is beginning to feel like it's all coordinated in time for 6th January..
