Of those who have tested positive for coronavirus, across all settings, sadly ninety-four thousand, five-hundred and eighty people have died. That is up 4.8 per cent from the week before. Since yesterday, thirty-seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-two people have tested positive for coronavirus.Īs of 19 January, thirty-eight thousand, six hundred and seventy-six people were in hospital with coronavirus. So it is absolutely crucial that you stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives. Our NHS is under immense pressure and large numbers of people are still falling ill and, sadly, dying. So I urge everyone across our wonderfully diverse country to get the vaccine when their turn comes to keep us all safe.īut we are sadly not out of the woods yet, this virus remains severe and it is a deadly threat. It is our best chance of beating this virus. The NHS are working as quickly, efficiently and as fairly as possible to get the vaccine to priority groups.Īnd I want to take this moment and opportunity to counter some of the disinformation about the vaccine – especially any messages targeted towards those from an ethnic minority background. The brilliant NHS is vaccinating people at the rate of 200 jabs per minute.Īnd as of today, four million, nine hundred and seventy-three thousand, two hundred and forty-eight people have been vaccinated across the United Kingdom. The rollout of our fantastic vaccination programme continues to make good progress. I am joined today by Dr Vin Diwakar, NHS England Regional Medical Director for London, and Martin Hewitt, Chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
