A total of 50,365 people died within 28 days of a positive Covid test, up from 595 in the last 24 hours. The United Kingdom is the fifth nation to have passed 50,000 deaths after the United States, Brazil, India and Mexico.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the statistics revealed, amid expectations for a vaccine, that “we’re not out of the woods.” He said, “Any death is a tragedy,” but added, “I think we have now reached another stage in the way we handle it.”
