The rate of covid infection across the United Kingdom is now ten times higher than it was last year, expert say.
Despite covid laws being essentially non-existent across the United Kingdom, 3.5 million people have been reported to have the virus as of last week. The rise comes as new variants appeared since rules were lifted.
Dr Jenny Harries, head of the UK Health Security Agency, has said people should be ready for another wave of covid as rates are "still very high." England's chief medical adviser Professor Chris Whitty has also backed Dr Harries' warning.
