The R rate seen a significant jump
The proportion of people catching Covid in England has reached its highest level since at least January, according to a major study.
October’s rate is the highest on record by Imperial College’s React study, although it did not capture data in December last year or during the first three months of the UK’s outbreak. Helen Ward, professor of public health at Imperial College London, said: ‘Children are one group where it is continuing to circulate and therefore with return to school following half-term you would expect there to be more transmission going on there.
‘And the parents of those children are the other age group that we saw higher increases in, and are also the age group that are not yet eligible for booster doses.’
