Jonathan Van-Tam warns of 'bumpy winter period' as UK continues Covid-19 recovery
It “remains too early to say” whether the current wave of coronavirus infections in England is stabilising or not, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said.
As the national statisticians found that the prevalence of Covid-19 cases rose to 1 in 65 people in the week to 24 July, Professor Stephen Reicher of St Andrew’s University warned the ONS findings suggest that the recent drop in infections shown in Public Health England’s daily “findings are due to changes in testing behaviour”.
Meanwhile, lawyers are expecting a wave of legal action against UK companies over attempts to make sure staff are double-vaccinated against Covid, amid growing fears of draconian “no jab, no job” policies in the workplace.
