GP Dr Hilary Jones has warned Good Morning Britain viewers that Covid restrictions could return as cases rise across the UK.
The relaxation of restrictions and the spread of a new variant of Covid has seen infections in the UK increase 48% week on week, Wales Online reports. Experts in Australia say the new variant, BA.2, is among the most infectious diseases ever seen - six times more transmissible than original Covid.
More than 12,000 people in England are currently in hospital with Covid and in the most recent week more than 700 people died with the virus. The new variant is a subtype of Omicron and has been dubbed Stealth Covid - it can infect people who are triple vaccinated.
