The coronavirus pandemic has claimed the lives of 454,625 people around the globe and 8,520,761 people have been infected so far. The number is increasing on a daily basis and Chief of the World Health Organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated on this Friday that the coronavirus pandemic is “accelerating” and that more than 150,000 cases were reported yesterday – the highest number of cases in a single day number so far. Despite this, Britain downgraded its coronavirus alert from four to three on Friday. “The UK moving to a lower alert level is a big moment for the country, and a real testament to the British people’s determination to beat this virus,” said UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock. Under the level three of a five-level alert system, the virus is now considered to be “in general circulation” and thus allows for a “gradual relaxation of restrictions” to ease the lockdown further.
