UK witnesses fresh surge in Covid cases, records 10,000 cases for the first time since February

UK has been witnessing a fresh surge in Covid-19 cases amid the concerns of the rapidly spreading Delta variant. The country's active case tally has breached the 10,000-mark for the first time in nearly four months. The country's health department has reported 11,007 cases, the highest since February 19, when 12,027 cases were recorded. This explains the government's hesitancy to completely remove the restrictions.
