United Kingdom responses to the COVID-19 pandemic

"A new COVID wave is certainly beginning". This was stated by the pulmonologist and deputy from "Democratic Bulgaria" Dr. Alexander Simidchiev on Nova TV.

"The rate of increase in new cases on a weekly basis is 50% from last week, and on a two-week basis it is 140% from two weeks ago," he said.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is scrapping the last domestic coronavirus restrictions in England, including the requirement for people with COVID-19 to self-isolate, even as he acknowledged Monday the potential for new and more deadly variants of the virus.

"There is no question of lockdown or new measures concerning vaccinated people", all government officials emphasize daily, while the PM's office, the Ministry of Health and the scientists are constantly monitoring the epidemiological data.
