THE ONS data shows infections have jumped more than 30% in a week. Around 2.3m people in the UK had coronavirus in the week ending on 24 June reports the BBC.

This is up by about 32% from around 1.7m the week before. 

The ONS says that this is likely caused by infections compatible with Omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5.

That’s about 3.5% of the population testing positive for Covid (roughly one in 30 people), up from roughly one in 35 the week before.
