The UK registered 42,848 new Covid-19 infections
bringing the total number of coronavirus cases in the country to
10,421,104, according to official figures released Saturday.
The
country also reported a further 127 coronavirus-related deaths. The
total number of coronavirus-related deaths in the UK now stands at
145,551, with 7,373 Covid-19 patients still in hospital, Xinhua news
agency reported.
The latest data came as the UK Health Security
Agency issued an update on booster vaccines. As of Friday, more than 19
million third jabs have been administered nationwide.
The UK government has promised to offer all over-18s a booster vaccine by the end of January.
Meanwhile,
general practitioners (GP) have been given permission to postpone
health checks for over-75s and new patients to allow them to focus on
the ramped up booster vaccine rollout.
Checks can be deferred
until the end of March next year and doctors will also be able to reduce
or halt minor surgeries until then without financial penalty.
More
than 88 per cent of people aged 12 and over in the UK have had their
first dose of vaccine and more than 80 per cent have received both
doses, according to the latest figures. More than 34 per cent have
received booster jabs, or the third dose of a coronavirus vaccine.
