According to the data by the COVID-19 Clinical Information Network (CO-CIN), coronavirus patients in the UK are now dying more quickly than in the first phase of the pandemic. Up until August 1, patients were dying an average of 13 days after symptoms such as a cough, high temperature or loss of smell and taste started. However the drop in time has been explained by the death rate falling - with more patients recovering and therefore fewer dying after lengthy battles with the virus. The UK has seen an increase in the number of coronavirus cases in recent weeks. “The number of infections overall across the country continues to increase.”The total number of coronavirus cases confirmed in the UK is 830,998.
