UK coronavirus alert level decreased

The UK's Covid-19 alert level has been lowered from level four to level three, according to a joint statement issued by the Chief Medical Officers for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Level three means that Covid-19 remains in general circulation, whereas level four indicates that the level of transmission is high or rising, reports the CNN.
"There has been a steady decrease in cases we have seen in all four nations, and this continues. It does not mean that the pandemic is over. The virus is still in general circulation, and localised outbreaks are likely to occur," the Chief Medical Officers said in a statement.
"We have made progress against the virus thanks to the efforts of the public and we need the public to continue to follow the guidelines carefully to ensure this progress continues," it added.
