Britain: Another 1,882 people in the UK have tested positive for Covid-19, bringing the total number of coronavirus cases in Britain to 4,387,820, according to official figures released on Sunday. At the same time, more than 32.8 million people have been given the first shot of a coronavirus vaccine, according to the latest official figures.
The total number of coronavirus-related deaths in Britain now stands at 127,270. These figures only include the deaths of people who died within 28 days of their first positive test, as per Xinhua.
Meanwhile, leaders of Britain's biggest hospitality businesses have signed an open letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson urging him to "stick" with England's roadmap to exit the lockdown and reopen the economy.
The letter published in the Sunday Telegraph said two-thirds of hospitality venues "couldn't open outdoors from 12 April, and none is breaking even." "The prime minister set out the right path. He should stick to it and not let it be derailed by talk of vaccine passports in pubs and restaurants," said the signatories.
Restaurants and pubs were allowed to serve food and alcohol to customers sitting outdoors. Meanwhile, gyms, spas, zoos, theme parks, libraries and community centers can all open.
