New data shows that the number of Covid-19 Delta variant cases in the UK has increased nearly fourfold in less than a month.

According to data from the Public Health Department of the United Kingdom, a total of 161,981 confirmed and possible Delta variants have been detected in the United Kingdom – an increase of 50,824 cases or 46% from the previous week.

Of the 161,981 cases, 148,538 were in England, 10,185 were in Scotland, 1,749 were in Wales, and 1,509 were in Northern Ireland.

According to data from the Department of Public Health, there were nearly 700 new cases in Brighton and Hove in the past week.

This rate almost doubled in one week and doubled in two weeks, and there were 694 cases in the 7 days as of Sunday, June 27.

Professor Adam Finn from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization (JCVI) said that people should not worry about accepting the dose of AstraZeneca produced in India. The problem with the EU is an “administrative barrier.”

“The most important part of this is that people who receive these batches should rest assured that what they receive is exactly the same as people who received other batches produced elsewhere,” he told Today’s show.

“This is an administrative obstacle that needs to be straightened out, but people shouldn’t worry that they are not well protected to some extent.

“We are in the early stages of this new world that requires vaccine passports, and many aspects of this are still being sorted out for the first time.

“But obviously, setting up barriers that do not need to exist is ultimately not in the interests of anyone, including the European Union.”

He added: “I expect this will be resolved in due course.”

A public health expert said that the rise in Scotland’s positive tests for the coronavirus is “very obvious” related to Scottish fans travelling to London to participate in the Euro 2020 match against England.

Professor Martin McGee said on the Good Morning Scotland programme on BBC Radio Scotland on Friday: “I think you in Scotland know very well that this is the case.

“We have another example. Finnish fans participated in a European Cup game and 300 of them were infected.

“We can see very clearly in the data in Scotland, because this increase is very consistent with your expectations for the latency period after the game, but also very consistent with the gender difference, because in this case, the increase in men seems to be higher than that of women. Much larger.

“So I think when you put these two together, it’s clear that this is what is happening.”

According to a report on Friday, millions of Britons may be excluded from European holidays because the EU vaccine passport program will not automatically recognize some AstraZeneca vaccines.

The new EU Covid certificate is intended to open travel for people immunized with the virus, but does not include vaccine batches produced in India because they are not approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

The United Kingdom is one of many countries that approved the so-called Covishield version of the AZ jab made by the Serum Institute of India. It is chemically identical to the original AZ version.

The UK has injected as many as 5 million doses of drugs made in India, Daily Telegraph The report can be identified by the lot number displayed in the patient card or NHS app.

Just 24 hours ago, the country announced that the application would not be accepted as evidence, and only NHS letters could be used as evidence, which left tourists in chaos.

The move aroused the anger of the British because they did not have enough time to receive their letters-which may take up to five working days to arrive-so that they could catch the flight to Malta.

Malta is on the British Green List, allowing tourists to travel to the island from June 30, without facing quarantine when returning.

Boris Johnson will welcome Angela Merkel to the UK for talks on Friday, and it is expected that coronavirus travel restrictions will be the focus of the agenda.

Before stepping down as Prime Minister later this year, the Prime Minister will host his German counterparts at his country house, Checkers. This is her last visit to the UK.

Travel arrangements may increase because Mrs. Merkel has been pressing EU leaders to impose strict quarantine requirements on people arriving in the EU from the UK, regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not.

At the same time, Mr. Johnson was asked about reports that fully vaccinated people may be able to travel without isolation from the Amber Listed countries before July 26, saying that “a double blow will become a liberator.”
