UK's coronavirus 'R' infection rate back up to as high as 1 after rising in last week
Reading now: 103
The Government's top advisory group has warned that the rate of coronavirus infection is rising and could be close to one. The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) said the UK reproduction number for the coronavirus is now between 0.7 and one.
Last week it stood between 0.5 and 0.9. If the reproduction number (R) is higher than one, then the rate of infection will rise across the UK.
If it is lower than one, then the outbreak will shrink. The research was carried out by six research groups and suggested that cases in care homes and hospitals accounted for a greater proportion of cases than last week. Do you have a coronavirus story to tell?
