London Hit Hard as COVID Cases Soar
COVID-19 cases in London have rocketed beyond 1,000 per 100,000 people. This spike is putting enormous strain on the NHS and public services already pushed to their limits. Right now, 7,034 patients battle COVID in hospital—a staggering 35% rise compared to April 2020’s peak.
