The UK is seeing another rise in the number of people testing positive for coronavirus. The latest estimates suggest that around one in 25 people in England are infected with Covid-19.
The latest rise in infections is believed to be driven by two new subvariants of Omicron - BA.4 and BA.5, but experts say there is no evidence to suggest they lead to more severe symptoms than with previous variants.
Together, the two new subvariants make up more than half of new Covid-19 cases in England. The number of people in hospital with Covid-19 is also now on an upwards trend in most parts of the country.
However, the vast majority of those infected experience only a mild illness and those who do not need hospital treatment are urged to stay at home and avoid contact with others until they feel better.
