Hospital
admissions in the UK are rising rapidly, especially in the north of England
where there are warnings that in some areas they are returning to levels seen
during the original peak of the pandemic.
Average
case numbers in England are 55 cases per 100,000 people. But across much of northern England the
situation is much worse.
The
Manchester area has recorded 561 cases per 100,000. In Liverpool it's 516 per 100 thousand. And
levels are increasing in the Midlands with Nottingham now recording 440 cases
per 100,000 people.
Restrictions
for parts of England are expected to be tightened by the government — which is
considering closing pubs and restaurants.
It’s due to
introduce a tiered approach with different levels of lockdown restriction for
different areas categories.
Labour has
accused the prime minister Boris Johnson of failing to implement clear policies
for dealing with the pandemic.
