You may have been feeling worse about yourself or people you know and love recently, as a wave of Covid infections appeared to have spread across the country, including the capital, in the autumn. However, data from the UK Health Security Agency suggests that the peak has now been passed.
Covid cases have fallen in England and Wales for the second day in a row. According to the latest government data, 12,123 new infections were reported in England in the week ending October 14.
This corresponds to 21.4 cases per 100,000 people in the country. That’s down from 28.5 cases per 100,000 people a week earlier and a peak of 29.6 on October 2.
