The UK has suffered its fifth wave of Covid-19 infections this summer, with daily cases soaring until mid-July.
The latest wave first became apparent in the aftermath of the four-day public holiday to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee when a 43 per spike in coronavirus cases was reported and it is feared that other major summer gatherings like Notting Hill Carnival and the Edinburgh Festival could all amount to super-spreader events if proper precautions are not taken.
