Coronavirus rates are currently surging across the UK.
The latest data from Public Health England showed the rate of positive tests had risen by almost two thirds in the Liverpool City Region. Figures showed there were 1,737 cases in the week ending June 13, which is 677 more than the previous week.
The increase is in line with surging rates across the country as figures estimate around 1.13m people in the UK have coronavirus. Good Morning Britain's Dr Hilary Jones confirmed the current dominant strain is the BA.4 and BA.5 variants of the milder Omicron variant.
