According to the details released by the British Ministry of Health on Saturday night, 50,525,259 people have received the first vaccination dose since the start of the vaccination campaign in the UK on December 8 last year.
Of those, 4,5985,795 have received a second dose and 12,164,586 a third dose, giving a total of 108,675,640 doses of coronavirus vaccination in the UK so far.
As reported on Saturday evening, this means that 80 per cent of the British population over the age of 12 received the first two doses of the vaccine, and 21.2 per cent of people in this age group received three doses of the vaccine.
Lab tests have so far revealed more than 9.5 million coronavirus infections nationwide, and the pandemic has caused 142,835 deaths in Britain as of Saturday’s data set.
However, according to a recent estimate by the Public Health Service (PHE), the UK’s vaccination program prevented more than 112,000 more deaths and 24.7 million infections, and prevented 143,600 serious illnesses that would have led to hospital care.
According to a report by the British Ministry of Health on Saturday night, 38,351 new cases of coronavirus were examined across the country in the past day and 256,207 infections in the past week.
The weekly data shows an actual stagnation compared to the number of new infections identified through examination in the one-week period that ended last Saturday, while the number of deaths due to Covid-19 disease weekly increased by 94 and 7.9 percent to 1,092 and 965. In the past seven days . It fell 13.2 percent to 6,334.
According to the latest calculations from the British government’s Scientific Advisory Council on Standards (SAGE), the calculated reproduction rate in England has also fallen: it currently ranges between 0.8 and 1, up from 0.9-1.1 the previous week.
The primary significance of this is that the lower value of the estimation range is beyond the critical level 1, and the upper value no longer exceeds 1.
The new estimate shows that ten infected people infect an average of 8-10 other people, which means that if the lowest of the two extremes in the estimate range are correct, the rate of spread of the coronavirus epidemic in England will slow.
According to SAGE’s calculation methodology, an R ratio of 0.8 to 1 means the number of new coronavirus infections in England, the UK’s most populous country, could range from 3 per cent to 1 per cent increasing each day.
