A devastating Covid wave could hit the UK this autumn amid reduced testing, the emergence of new variants, and changing symptoms.
Health leaders have sounded the alarm as Brits could be "blind" to new immune-evasive variants, creating the "perfect storm" as we head into the colder months. Poor surveillance has been raised as a concern, with one expert warning: "We've really taken our eye off the ball with Covid tests."
Co-founder of the Covid ZOE app, Professor Tim Spector, says the next wave has already started. The expert has hit out against Government advice and warned Brits of a symptom that has overtaken fever and loss of smell, which is a sore throat.
