The good news for the UK is that the pace of increase in the daily case count has somewhat moderated. However, the base at the moment is still relatively high.
That said, UK lawmakers are insisting they are more than likely to revert back to the 'traffic light' system once lockdown ends on 2 December. But considering the situation, that is likely going to be a decision that backfires on the government if they do so.
It is tough to balance the health crisis and keeping the economy running but if the former gets out of control, the latter will inevitably suffer as well.
