In early January during the height of the second wave, about one in 50 people on average were infected with the virus over the course of a week.

Professor Tim Spector, Chief Scientist of the ZOE COVID Study App, comments on the latest data: “The UK appears to be slowly waking up to the fact that COVID cases are very high, but the fact is that they have been rising for months and we have put many countries on their red list.

“Infections remain high among young people, and it appears to be spreading to people aged 35-55. If these increases creep into over 55s, it could spell disaster for the NHS this winter.”

On Friday, Ipswich reported the highest rise in Covid cases in England, jumping 46 per cent in the week ending October 10 to 749.4 cases per 100,000 people – the fourth-highest rate in the region.
