The number of patients with Covid admitted to hospitals across the country hit 1,055 on Monday - up from 722 the week before. The latest data shows a 46 per cent increase week on week. According to the figures, the northwest saw the largest increase on Monday, at 56 per cent.
The Covid Actuaries Response Group has estimated the current "R" value for the virus, meaning the rate at which one person infects others, is 1.18. The expert group said its recent analysis suggests that the number of patients dying with Covid in English hospitals may now be increasing, adding: "It is clear at least that they are no longer decreasing."
