According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), Covid-19 infections are continuing to increase across the United Kingdom. An estimated 2-7 million people in the United Kingdom has the Covid-19 virus, and about one in 30 people had the virus in the past week.
This increase is being driven by the rapidly-spreading sub-variants of Omicron Covid-19, which are called as BA.4 and BA.5. The people in the United Kingdom are still able to catch the infection even if they have had Covid-19 before. But according to the latest analysis of UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) show the covid-19 vaccine jabs are providing help to protect against serious illness.
The health officials of the United Kingdom are now urging anyone who is eligible but has not yet received a vaccine in the past six months for getting one dose, specifically people over the age of 75 years old, who are at more risk from severe disease.
Sarah Crofts, who works on the Covid-19 infection survey of ONS, said there had been a continued increase across all the countries in the United Kingdom, and English regions and age groups.
She also said Scotland is continuing to have the highest infection rate, even though it has recently increased at a slow rate compared to countries in the United Kingdom.
