Tentative signs show UK's virus outbreak is leveling off Some tentative signs emerged Friday to suggest that the U.K.’s coronavirus resurgence is leveling out after wide-ranging restrictions were imposedLONDON -- Some tentative signs emerged Friday to suggest that the U.K.'s coronavirus resurgence is leveling off after wide-ranging restrictions were imposed. And the British government's main scientific advisory group said the virus' reproduction rate dipped even before the latest lockdown. Like others in Europe, the four nations of the U.K. have reimposed restrictions over recent weeks to get on top of the virus' resurgence. The spread of the virus in Europe has prompted many countries to reimpose lockdown restrictions that they had slowly withdrawn during the summer. The weekly infection survey from the Office for National Statistics also pointed to an easing in the rate of growth of the virus.
