On Wednesday, the government said there had been a further 13,013 lab-confirmed cases in the UK, with 1,001 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed one in four adults in England have received a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine.

Boris Johnson said that although more than 13 million people had received a jab in the UK, that meant two million more in the top four priority groups – covering the over-70s, health and care staff and the clinically extremely vulnerable – had not been vaccinated.

Johnson particularly urged care home staff to come forward to receive their vaccine before the target date of 15 February.

At a Downing Street press conference, he said: “With less than a week to go until the target date of Monday the 15th, there’s no doubt we’ve made great strides, with just over 13 million people now vaccinated in our United Kingdom, including one in four adults in England, over 90% of everyone over 75 and over 90% of eligible residents of care homes for the elderly.

“But that still leaves nearly two million people, a population roughly twice the size of Birmingham, that we still hope to reach.

“Now is the moment to do it.”

Once the top four groups are vaccinated, the government hopes that all over-50s and younger people with medical conditions will be vaccinated by the end of April.
