Britain’s Covid cases soared by 800,000 last week with more than one in 20 people infected on any given day – prompting people to cancel plans, stay home and wear masks again, according to the Mail Online.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) weekly infection survey estimated 3.5million Britons were carrying the virus in the week ending July 6 as cases roses nationally by around a third.
Sarah Crofts, the chief analyst at the ONS, said infections ‘are showing no signs of decreasing’ and suggested they could reach pandemic highs this summer – which could throw public services into further chaos.
Remember, wearing a mask helps protect you against catching covid but also reduces the likelihood of anyone spreading Covid.
