COVID infections rise in all four UK nations as about 1.7 million had virus last week
About 1.7 million people are estimated to have had coronavirus last week, up 23% from 1.4 million the previous week, the Office for National Statistics has said. COVID levels are continuing to rise in all four nations of the UK, with the increase likely caused by infections compatible with the Omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5. This is the highest estimate for total infections since the end of April, but is still well below the record high of 4.9 million which was reached at the end of March.
