UK reports 42,302 COVID cases, highest since Jan 15

The United Kingdom reported a further 42,302 cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, the highest daily increase since Jan. 15, and 49 deaths, official data showed.

Britain's cases have been rising since late May, although death figures have remained much lower than previous waves. Wednesday's figure of 42,302 compared with the 36,660 reported on Tuesday.

The rise comes as England is preparing to lift all remaining restrictions on social contact on Monday.

It also comes after fears that events related to the Euro 2020 football tournament were fueling infections.
