According to chief medical officers, the coronavirus alert level in the United Kingdom is set to be raised from 3 to 4, indicating transmission is “high or rising exponentially.”
On Monday, the United Kingdom reported 4,368 new coronavirus infections, taking the coronavirus caseload in the country to 398,625.
The recent sharp rise in cases has caused health officials and scientists nationwide to warn that a second wave may soon sweep across the country, which may cause a rise in infections and fatalities.
The new decisions come as top scientists warn that, without any intervention, new infections may rise by 50,000 per day by mid-October.
