Covid-19 is sweeping the nation once again, with a massive increase in cases and new statistics showing that 1 in 20 people in the UK have Covid-19. This means that it has increased by 30% in the latest figures that are being shown.
The rise is being driven by fast-spreading sub-variants of Omicron, called BA.4 and BA.5. This has proved that Covid-19 is beginning to spread around the UK once again for another wave and possibly more deadly.
The infection rate has increased by 30%!
In the latest report the ONS estimates Covid rates were:
- One in 19 in England – up from one in 25 the week before
- One in 17 in Wales – up from one in 20
- One in 17 in Northern Ireland – up from one in 19
- One in 16 in Scotland – up from one in 17
“Infections are showing no signs of decreasing, with rates approaching levels last seen in March this year at the peak of the Omicron BA.2 wave.
“Rates have continued to increase across the UK and among all age groups. We will continue to closely monitor the data.” said Sarah Crofts!
