New data, as of June 3, shows that of the 12,383 cases of the Delta variant, 464 went on to present at emergency care and 126 people were admitted to hospital, the Health Secretary said.
Of these 126 people, 83 were unvaccinated, 28 had received one dose and just three had received both doses of the vaccine. Mr Hancock added that the Covid-19 vaccine is “breaking the link between infections, hospitalisations and deaths - a link that was rock solid back in the autumn”.
