Britain reported 223 deaths from COVID-19 on Tuesday, the highest daily figure since March, and cases are the highest in Europe.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has lifted almost all COVID-19 restrictions in England, and is keeping measures such as mandatory mask-wearing - common in much of Europe - in reserve only as a "Plan B".
