A new app launched to track the spread of coronavirus symptoms across the UK suggests 1.9million people could have caught the bug.
Data gathered by the app found nearly two million people aged 20-69 have symptomatic Covid-19. Contributors can track their daily health on the specially-created app, which is also being used by healthcare and hospital workers nationwide.
According to researchers, the preliminary data shows wide variation across the UK, with hotspots of the disease including major cities like London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, and Belfast.
But it also highlights problems in rural areas of South Wales, which are currently experiencing bed shortages following an influx of patients.
