The common Covid symptom that more than two-thirds of infected people are showing

An epidemiologist has revealed the top symptom of Covid, which more than two thirds of infected people are currently showing.

It comes as the latest figures suggest Coronavirus infections are rising in most parts of the UK, but are still well below levels reached earlier this year. Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Friday (December 16) showed that the total number of people in private households in the UK testing positive for coronavirus stood at an estimated 1.3 million in the week to December 5.

This is up 16 percent from 1.1 million in the previous week. The jump in infections is likely to be driven by people mixing more indoors, health experts said, and comes as other winter viruses such as flu are circulating more widely.
