Britain's daily Covid deaths have halved in a week — while infections have risen slightly, official figures revealed today. Department of Health chiefs posted 13 more lab-confirmed victims after recording just seven yesterday — which was the first time the daily fatality count was in single figures since September.

The development seems to be good news for the economy, which have suffered enormous losses due to the coronavirus pandemic . However, business owners are unhappy about the upcoming flood of customers. "We think roughly one third of pubs will open on Monday, and perhaps only a third of those will be profitable. The idea that 'the pubs are opening, therefore everything is now OK' couldn't be further from the truth", said James Calder, chief executive of the Society of Independent Brewers, which represents 830 independent craft breweries across Britain. © AP Photo / Frank Augstein The window of The Rutland Arms pub shows their opening date in Hammersmith, London, Wednesday, April 7, 2021.
