Britain records 33,470 new Covid-19 cases as infections jump 38.6% in a week – even though several different estimates say outbreak has slowed
Britain today announced another 33,470 positive coronavirus cases – 39 per cent more than last Thursday – despite indicators showing the outbreak is slowing down.
The case count is the highest since the Covid-19 outbreak began and comes more than a week after England’s second national lockdown started.
Unofficial statistics suggest that the country’s outbreak had already started to slow down and shrink before the lockdown started.
