The UK's latest surge in coronavirus infections gathers pace with new confirmed cases rising above 10,000 for the first time in nearly 4 months as a result of the spread of the more contagious delta variant.

Most of the new confirmed cases are among younger age groups which have not yet gotten Covid-19 vaccines. The U.K.’s widely praised rollout of vaccines is being extended to all adults over the age of 18 starting Friday, Health Secretary Matt Hancock confirmed.

Johnson laid out his hope that by July 19, two-thirds of the U.K.’s adult population will have been offered two vaccine shots, including everyone over 50. In addition to warning about further deaths in the near term, Whitty, the government's chief medical adviser, said the country should brace itself for further waves of the virus to come.

Many blame the Conservative government for the spike in infections, saying it acted too slowly to impose the strictest quarantine requirements on everyone arriving from India, which has endured a catastrophic resurgence of the virus.
