Uk Covid 19

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak defended Britain's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday, telling an official inquiry he did not recognise testimony describing a dysfunctional government and saying his hospitality scheme was supported at the time.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces the most dangerous moment of his premiership this week, when he is due to appear before a COVID-19 inquiry and must win a crunch vote in parliament on his plan to revive a policy to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Britain's COVID inquiry on Thursday that any suggestion he wanted to allow the virus to "let rip" was "rubbish" and "completely wrong".

"EG.5.1 was first raised as a signal in monitoring on 3 July 2023 as part of horizon scanning due to increasing reports internationally, particularly in Asia." said UKHSA.

The former UK Prime Minister has made it clear that he is willing to share messages on his old phone with the inquiry.

The UK government's focus on Brexit seriously hampered pandemic planning, an inquiry examining the country's handing of the Covid-19 health emergency was told on Tuesday.

The XE variant of COVID-19 is a recombinant of two sublineages of Omicron - BA.1 and BA.2. So far, the cases have been found only in Britain.

When it comes to sleep, around a third of the respondents said that the overall quality of their sleep has got worse.

The Deltacron variant of coronavirus was first discovered by a researcher in Cyprus, but was dismissed as "lab error" by other experts. But now, fresh cases have been reported in the UK, raising fresh health concerns.

Daily virus cases in the UK on Thursday soared to over 50,000 a day for the first time since July but the government again resisted calls to reimpose restrictions.

A British study will look into the immune responses of children to mixed schedules of different COVID-19 vaccines as officials try to determine the best approach to second doses in adolescents given a small risk of heart inflammation.

There are early signs that people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 may be able to transmit the Delta variant of the virus as easily as those who have not, scientists at Public Health England (PHE) said on Friday.

Two weeks ago, the delta variant was ripping through the UK, stoking fears of a record wave of Covid-19 clobbering one of the world's most highly vaccinated countries.

British health minister Sajid Javid was accused of insulting coronavirus victims on Sunday after urging people to take a COVID-19 vaccine and "learn to live with, rather than cower from, this virus".

The UK government was thrown into turmoil on Sunday by its own rules on Covid self-isolation just as it controversially prepares to ditch pandemic curbs in England.
