Confident enough yet to say that this is definitively what we re going to see but if we continue to see this over the next couple of weeks, then i ll be increasingly confident that this wave is turning over. it s hard to read the data. the daily reported case numbers which cover people who have come forward for testing have been falling week on week. but an infection survey by the office for national statistics is based on household testing and includes those who don t have symptoms. it paints a broader picture. the latest ons survey suggests last week nearly 1.27 million people in the uk had the virus, about the same as the previous week. and the trend does appear to be flattening after increases recently. in england, one in 50 people had the virus. in wales, it was one in a0 and in scotland, one in 80. northern ireland, with one in 65, was the only one to show an increase. but school half term in some parts of the uk last week may have complicated the situation. half term can have ha ....
It s hard to read the data. the daily reported case numbers which cover people who have come forward for testing have been falling week on week. but an infection survey by the office for national statistics is based on household testing and includes those who don t have symptoms. it paints a broader picture. the latest 0ns survey suggests last week nearly 1.27 million people in the uk had the virus, about the same as the previous week. and the trend does appear to be flattening after increases recently. in england, one in 50 people had the virus. in wales, it was one in 40 and in scotland, one in 80. northern ireland, with one in 65, was the only one to show an increase. but school half term in some parts of the uk last week may have complicated the situation. half term can have had a positive impact in that it may have paused some of those classroom transmissions that we were seeing happening very frequently through september and october. of course, what we don t know yet is if that w ....
All the right arm, sir? as people come forward for boosterjabs here in marlow in buckinghamshire, and here at st helens rugby league ground, the hope is that the spread of the virus can be slowed down. there are very tentative views among expert model is that there may be a downward trend for infections. it s very possible that cases may continue to go down over the next few weeks, but i m also very aware that we saw this in september and then we did see a climb in cases again. i m probably not confident enough yet to say that this is definitively what we are going to see but if we continue to see this over the next couple of weeks, then i ll be increasingly confident this wave is turning over. it s hard to read the data. the daily reported case numbers which cover people who have come forward for testing have been falling week on week. but an infection survey by the office for national statistics is based on household testing and includes those who don t have symptoms. it paints a bro ....
In the drive to keep ahead of the virus. they are offered six months after a second dose but from today, the nhs has been told there can be flexibility on timing. for example, if someone, a doctor, is visiting a care home and there might be one or two residents that are just short of the six month point, they can use their discretion and make sure everyone is boosted in the same session. daily reported cases may not be rising, but part of the explanation may be fewer school pupils coming forward for tests during half term holidays. the office for national statistics does regular household testing, which picks up the underlying trend. the latest 0ns survey suggests that last week, 1.3 million people in the uk had the virus higher than the peak injanuary. in england, one in 50 people had the virus. in wales, it was one in 60. and in both scotland and northern ireland, one in 75 people. there were increases in all the uk s nations. so, what might the 0ns data tell us about this week whe ....
