The United Kingdom on Wednesday recorded its highest daily coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic.
78,610 COVID-19 Covid-19 infections were reported, about 10,000 more than the previous high reported in January this year.
More than 11 million people have now tested positive for the disease in the United Kingdom, which has a total population of around 67 million.
With a new highly transmissible Omicron variant of the virus surging across Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned of a "tidal wave" of infections.
But Johnson suffered a blow to his authority on Tuesday when more than 100 of his lawmakers voted against measure to curb the increasing spread of the disease.

The UK bestows its highest honour upon the 7-time Formula 1 champion, he will now be addressed as Sir Lewis Hamilton

After facing a heartbreak at the Formula 1 finale race, 7-time champion Lewis Hamilton received the knighthood at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. He will now be called Sir Lewis Hamilton, the highest honour awarded by the UK government. The 36-year-old Mercedes racer's mother Carmen Lockhart accompanied him where he was knighted by the Prince of Wales, Charles. He is now the fourth racer to receive the honour after Jackie Stewart, Stirling Moss and Jack Brabham.&nbsp; He was named in the Queen's Honour list last December itself when Hamilton equalled Michael Schumacher's&nbsp;record. Hamilton was denied the chance to win a record 8th title by Max Verstappen who won his first-ever Formula 1 title earlier this week.&nbsp;

The omicron variant is spreading so rapidly it has the potential to overwhelm Britain's hospitals, highlighting the need to strengthen coronavirus restrictions and speed up the delivery of booster vaccine shots, the country's health minister said on Tuesday.
Omicron is so transmissible that even if it proves to be less severe than other variants, there is still likely to be a surge in hospital admissions if it goes unchecked, UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid told lawmakers.
His comments came as the government rushed to accelerate the national vaccination programme, with a goal of offering a booster dose to every adult by the end of December. Lawmakers also voted Tuesday to approve tougher rules on mask-wearing in most indoor public places and mandatory Covid passes for nightclubs to slow the variant until more vaccinations can be delivered.
“This is a new national mission,” Javid said. “A race between the virus and the vaccine to get as many people protected as possible.” In another effort to speed up the booster programme, UK health officials temporarily suspended the 15-minute observation period normally required for anyone receiving a Pfizer or Moderna shot.
Monday was the second-highest day for Covid-19 booster bookings in England, with more than 650,000 appointments scheduled, the NHS said.
UK health authorities reported 59,610 confirmed cases of Covid-19 on Tuesday, the highest number since Jan 9. However, widespread vaccinations means that the large number of infections is translating into fewer hospitalisations and deaths. Britain recorded 150 more coronavirus-related deaths on Tuesday, compared with 1,035 on Jan 9.

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has apologised to a court in London as she declared that she had no intention to mislead the court in her account related to her privacy case against the Mail on Sunday's publishers.
The Court of Appeal, hearing the Associated Newspapers' appeal seeking to overturn a previous judgment in favour of the Duchess, heard she had asked an aide to pass on information to the authors of a biography &ndash; despite having earlier said she "did not contribute".

Covid-19 has been detected in a pet dog in the United Kingdom, the officials confirmed on Wednesday.
According to UK's Chief Veterinary Officer Christine Middlemiss, the infection was confirmed following tests at the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) laboratory in Weybridge on November 3. The dog is now recovering at home.
All available evidence suggests that the dog contracted the coronavirus from its owners who had previously tested positive for coronavirus.
There is no evidence to suggest that the animal was involved in the transmission of the disease to its owners or that pets or other domestic animals are able to transmit the virus to people, the officer said.
"Tests conducted by the Animal and Plant Health Agency have confirmed that the virus responsible for COVID-19 has been detected in a pet dog in the UK. The infected dog was undergoing treatment for another unrelated condition and is now recovering," Chief Veterinary Officer Christine Middlemiss said in the statement.
"It is very rare for dogs to be infected and they will usually only show mild clinical signs and recover within a few days," he said.
He added that there is no clear evidence to suggest that pets directly transmit the virus to humans. "We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will update our guidance to pet owners should the situation change."

The UK government has said that India's Covaxin will be added to its list of approved Covid-19 vaccines for international travellers from November 22. It means that those inoculated with the Bharat Biotech-manufactured jab will not have to self-isolate after arrival in England.
The move follows the World Health Organisation's (WHO) Emergency Use Listing for Covaxin, which is the second most used formulation in India.
Covishield, the India-manufactured Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, was added to the UK's approved list last month.
"More good news for Indian travellers to the UK. From 22 November travellers fully vaccinated with a Covid-19 vaccine recognised by WHO for Emergency Use Listing, including Covaxin, will not have to self-isolate; so joining those fully vaccinated with Covishield," Alex Ellis, British High Commissioner to India, said on Twitter on Monday.
The changes will come into effect at 4 am on November 22.
Besides Covaxin, China's Sinovac and Sinopharm, both on the WHO Emergency Use Listing, will be recognised by the UK government as approved vaccines for inbound travel, benefitting fully vaccinated people from the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia. These fully vaccinated passengers will not be required to take a pre-departure test, day-8 test or self-isolate upon arrival.
"As we continue to recover from the pandemic and expand our recognition of international vaccines, today's announcements mark the next step in our restart of international travel," said UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
"The red list and quarantine system remain vital in protecting our borders and as we've said, we will not hesitate to take action by adding countries to the red list if necessary," UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said.
The UK government has also simplified the travel rules for all under-18s coming to England. They will now be treated as fully vaccinated at the border and will be exempt from self-isolation requirements on arrival, day-8 testing and pre-departure testing. They will only be required to take one post-arrival test and a confirmatory free PCR test if they test positive.

The UK government on Friday announced a major relaxation of international travel rules for vaccinated people coming in and out of England. With new rules, the long-haul routes between India and the UK are set to benefit.
From October 4, the current traffic light system of red, amber and green countries based on levels of Covid-19 risk will be scrapped and replaced with one red list only.
The scrapping of an amber list, which is what India is currently on, means reduced cost burden for travellers related to compulsory PCR tests - especially for the Indian people vaccinated in the UK.
However, an expanded list of countries whose vaccines are recognised in England does not include India. It means that Indians vaccinated with Covishield would still be required to undergo a pre-departure PCR test and further tests on landing in the UK.
From October 4, travellers from 17 additional countries with eligible vaccines, including Japan, Singapore and Malaysia, will no longer need to take pre-departure PCR tests for travelling into England.

The London High Court has ruled that Prince Phillip's will is to remain sealed to protect the dignity of the Queen. Philip, the nation&rsquo;s longest-serving consort, died&nbsp;in April 2021, aged 99.
After the death of a senior member of the royal family, it has been convention for over a century that an application to seal their will is made. This means the wills of senior members of the royal family are not open to public inspection in the way a will would ordinarily be.
In a ruling published on Thursday, the High Court ordered that the Duke of Edinburgh's&nbsp;will remain sealed for 90 years and may be opened only in private even after that date.
The ruling judge said, &ldquo;There is a need to enhance the protection afforded to truly private aspects of the lives of this limited group of individuals in order to maintain the dignity of the sovereign and close members of her family.&rdquo;
Historically,&nbsp;the first member of the royal family whose will was sealed Prince Francis of Teck, who died in 1910. He was the younger brother of Queen Mary.
The physical process of unsealing must be conducted by a professional archivist to ensure that the document and its seals are properly preserved.
