LONDON - Covid-19 infections are rising so persistently in the United Kingdom that unless something can be done to reduce infections, the"reasonable worst case" scenario of 80,000 dead could be exceeded, scientists said on Friday .

New Covid-19 cases in England increased by around 51,900 each day last week, up nearly 50% on the week before, an official survey said on Friday. The"R" number was 1.1-1.3, down from 1.2-1.4, the UK's Government Office for Science said. That means on average every 10 people infected will infect between 11 and 13 other people.
