The world is now under the threat of Delta Variant of Corona, which is more contagious than before. Due to this variant, the threat of a new wave of corona has arisen in many countries.
The danger of a third wave of Corona hovering over Britain (indicative picture)
According to a CNN report, experts have urged countries to take a closer look at Britain’s strategy to deal with a possible third wave of corona due to the more infectious delta variant than before. This has been revealed in the CNN report. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has already expressed confidence in getting out of the lockdown in the government’s four-phase roadmap.
The government has extended the deadline till July 19 to lift almost all restrictions and return to normalcy. Boris Johnson has set this goal due to the ‘successful’ vaccination campaign. In terms of vaccination, the UK boasts one of the largest vaccination coverage in the world.
Unlocking process at risk from Delta variants
However, the delta variant has given rise to a major strain of infection in the UK, which could potentially jeopardize Britain’s plans to return to normalcy. Dr Susan Hopkins, COVID-19 Strategy Director at Public Health England (PHE), recently said that it should be possible for 70 percent of the adult population to receive both doses of the COVID vaccine before 19 July, which is the final stage of unlocking. Supports the government’s position.
Rapidly increasing infection cases
He said the country is now witnessing an alarming rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, with nearly 120,000 new infections being recorded last week. The impact of vaccination has affected the demographics of the infection as recent data on COVID-19 indicated that people under 30, who have not been extensively vaccinated, were largely infected with the virus.
Deepti Gurdasani, a senior epidemiology lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, told CNN that the delta variant has the ‘potential to change the shape of the epidemic’ in the UK. Britain’s new health minister Sajid Javid has insisted there is “no reason” to reconsider the July 19 target.
