LONDON (UK) – On Wednesday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson expressed his grief regarding the latest coronavirus data showing a record increase of deaths in the UK, saying that it was a “sad, sad day.”
Fatalities related to the coronavirus rose to a total of 2,352 by 563 by 1600 GMT on March 31.
“Let’s be in no doubt this has been a sad, sad day. But let’s be in no doubt that if we can follow the programme that we are currently set upon, if we can comply with the measures that we’ve embarked on together, then I have absolutely no doubt that we will begin to start to push those numbers down.”
