The latest official data show that the number of deaths associated with the new crown virus in the United Kingdom is rapidly and continuously decreasing, and is expected to reach zero in the near future. The UK’s total COVID-19 case fatality rate is 183 cases per 100,000 population. For the first time since the epidemic, it has fallen out of the top 20 countries with the highest case fatality rate. According to data released by the British government, as of April 22, the number of people who tested positive in the past seven days in the UK was 17,296, a decrease of 7.4% from the previous month. The number of patients infected with the new crown virus in the past 28 days and died in the past seven days was 156, a decrease of 26.1% from the previous month, and the mortality rate was approaching zero. In the past seven days, the total number of new hospitalizations in the UK was 1,191, a decrease of 19.7% from the previous month. At the same time, the number of tests in the UK continued to climb. In the past seven days, nearly 7 million people were tested, an increase of 6% from the previous month. Professor Dr. Jason Oke of the University of Oxford said that based on the current daily test scale of about 1 million people, the number of diagnoses is only a few thousand, and the number of people who are seriously ill and need to be hospitalized for treatment is only one or two hundred. It will also be “greatly reduced.” On January 19, the United Kingdom set the highest number of deaths among people infected with the new crown virus in a single day in history. On that day, 1,360 people infected with the new crown virus unfortunately passed away. However, a batch of data released by the Bureau of Statistics in the United Kingdom on April 22 shows that since October last year, the new crown infection is no longer the main cause of death in England and Wales. The virus was the third leading killer in March, accounting for only 9% of the total 48,551 deaths, or 4,387, which is lower than the proportion of dementia and heart disease (both 10.1%). According to an analysis of official data, the UK’s new crown fatality rate is 183 cases per 100,000 population, and for the first time since the epidemic, it has fallen out of the top 20 countries with the highest fatality rate.

The United Kingdom was once one of the countries with the most severe epidemics and deaths in the world. At present, with the rapid advancement of vaccination, the number of severe illnesses and deaths has been significantly reduced.

According to data from the British government, as of April 22, the country has received 44.45 million doses of the vaccine, of which about 33.26 million people have received at least one dose, and more than 11 million people have received two doses.

In other words, approximately 63% of adult Britons have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 21% of adults have completed two doses.

Among major economies such as the seven major industrial countries, the UK’s current vaccination rate is far ahead.
