In London, where Covid is increasing rapidly, it’s far more likely to be Covid than it is to be a cold.
We’re seeing doubling in the numbers equivalent to what’s being seen elsewhere, every two-and-a-half days, and that really means numbers are going up.
If we look at our regional charts we see London accelerating more than we’ve seen it since the very first wave and this now means that Omicron is the predominant variant already.
We’ll be at 100% very soon, so that’s happened in just a matter of days – that’s is why so many people are going down with infections.
