Seoul, Oct 4 (TIWN) South Korea reported 64 new Covid-19 cases on Sunday, the fourth consecutive day that the count has remained below 100, taking the overall tally to 24,091, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).

Britain has Europe’s highest coronavirus death toll, at more than 42,000, and Johnson’s Conservative government is facing criticism from all sides. Opponents say tougher social restrictions are needed to suppress a second pandemic wave, but many in Johnson’s own right-of-center party argue that restrictions must be eased to save the economy.  Johnson told the BBC that the government had to strike a difficult balance and he couldn’t “take a course that could expose us to tens of thousands more deaths in very short order.”
