(Sharecast News) - The number of people infected with coronavirus has dropped for a fourth day, raising hopes that the pandemic may be levelling off. The UK recorded 31,795 new infections yesterday, a fall of 32 per cent from the 46,558 on Tuesday. The figure is down 42 per cent from last Saturday. "Great to see continued signs of Delta descent in the UK today," tweeted Dr Eric Topol, a US physician who is an international authority on the coronavirus. Some scientists cautioned that the data does not capture the impact of "freedom day" last Monday. But Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia, hailed it as "remarkable" and "absolutely good news". - Sunday Times
