- 874 deaths due to coronavirus have been reported in the last 7 days.
- The number of deaths in the past week equates on average to around 125 deaths each of the past 7 days. If this was to be the โnew normalโ for daily deaths caused by Covid-19, then annually this would equate to around 45,573 deaths. There really is nothing normal or acceptable about this potential level of annual deaths.
- 4,228 deaths due to Covid-19 have been reported in the UK in the last 28 days.
- 745 Covid-19 hospital admissions occurred on 21 November 2021 โ according to the latest health care data for the UK as a whole.
- 7,641 patients suffering from Covid-19 are currently occupying hospital beds as of 24 November 2021.
- 928 Covid-19 patients are occupying mechanical ventilation beds โ according to the data reported on 24 November 2021.
- All three of the healthcare measures [above] are an increasing concern for our now seriously under-pressure NHS.
SO FAR:
- 665 days since the first infection due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus was reported in Britain (31 January 2020).
- 629 days since the first reported death (7 March 2020).
- Coronavirus has now been responsible for infecting over 10 million people (10,021,497 reported, to be precise) in the UK (according to the official reported positive cases data).
- In this time, the virus has been responsible for at least 144,433 deaths (within 28 days of a first positive test result). Official data also currently indicate there have been 167,927 deaths in total, where the deceased personโs death certificate mentioned COVID-19 as one of the causes, registered up to Friday 12 November 2021, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

- African countries to be added to Englandโs Travel Red List
Flights from six countries (South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana, Eswatini and Zimbabwe) are set to be banned after scientists voice concern over a new COVID-19 variant.
The B.1.1.529 variant, which was first detected in South Africa, is feared to be more transmissible and could evade immunity. It may also pose โa potentially significant threat to the vaccine programme which we have to protect at all costsโ, according to UK officials.
โWeโve always been clear that we will take action to protect the progress that we have made,โ the health secretary, Sajid Javid, said.
โOur scientists are deeply concerned about this variant. Iโm concerned, of course, thatโs one of the reasons we have taken this action.โ
COVID-19 UPDATE:@UKHSA is investigating a new variant. More data is needed but we're taking precautions now.
— Sajid Javid (@sajidjavid) November 25, 2021
From noon tomorrow six African countries will be added to the red list, flights will be temporarily banned, and UK travellers must quarantine.
So far, no cases of B.1.1.529 have been detected in the UK.
