Covid-19 cases in England have fallen 78% since the government imposed a
national lockdown on January 4, according to
weekly statistics from the National Health Service Test and Trace.
84,310 people tested positive for the virus between February 11 and February 17, the lowest weekly figure recorded since September. 2,580,210 people were tested for the virus in the same time period, a 14% decrease from the previous week.
Thursday’s figure was a large decrease from the
388,037 recorded between New Year’s Eve and January 6, the week UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed strict measures to curb the spread of a more transmissible variant of Covid-19 first discovered in
southeast England.
Johnson
set out a four-step roadmap Monday to take England out of its Covid-19 lockdown, declaring that the nation was on a "one-way road to freedom."
The UK has the highest Covid-19 death toll in Europe, with
more than 120,000 fatalities, and remains under tight pandemic restrictions. It has administered
nearly 19 million vaccine doses, with 642,788 fully vaccinated, according to data from John Hopkins University.
