The Delta variant accounts for approximately 99% of cases across the UK, and given its highly infectious nature, nightclubs and other indoor social venues will likely lead to an increase in cases especially in unvaccinated and partially vaccinated young adults.
In Asia, China reported 76 new cases on Sunday 25 July, a record high since January, as a local outbreak in the city of Nanjing caused authorities to begin a second round of mass testing.
Thailand has reported a record high in daily cases, 15,000 new cases, and Malaysia has surpassed one million total reported cases since the start of the pandemic.
