Latest data suggests Covid will once again be dampening Christmas celebrations with 1.5 million Brits expected to have the virus on the holiday, as experts urge those who are sick to stay home.
Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show that 1.2 million people in England had the virus on any given day in the week leading up to December 9, when the last set of data was published.
This marked a nine per cent rise in less than a week, with 1.1 million people thought to have the virus just days before.
