UK Covid wave falling away as infections drop by half a million - The Guardian
Quick Read
The drop in cases comes after the ONS reported a similar fall in infections in the data released last week, the first decline since June, when Covid cases began to surge in the latest wave fuelled by the BA.
Since the end of June, the vast majority of UK Covid cases have been caused by the BA.
Although cases are falling in the UK, the NHS is preparing to launch a combined flu vaccine and Covid booster campaign amid concerns that Covid cases will surge again in the autumn and winter, and potentially coincide with a severe flu season.
According to figures released by the ONS on Friday, Covid infections fell in all regions of England and in all age groups, a trend that will have been helped by schools breaking up for the summer holidays.
With the summer holidays and more people travelling, we will continue to closely monitor the data.
