latest news
- Early signs of possible rising infections in parts of the UK – ONS
There have been early signs of possible rising COVID-19 infections in England and Northern Ireland in the week to 2 June 2022.
This is because of rises in infections compatible with some Omicron variants.
Trends in the percentage of people testing positive for COVID-19 were uncertain in Wales and Scotland in the latest week.
The estimated percentage of the community population (those not in hospitals, care homes or other institutional settings) that had COVID-19 in the latest week was:
- 797,500 (1 in 70 people) in England
- 40,500 (1 in 75 people) in Wales
- 27,700 (1 in 65 people) in Northern Ireland

comment
Since February 2022, the UKHSA has slowly reduced the publishing of its daily COVID updates, following the UK Government’s narrative that we should all “live with the virus”.
England now reports on weekdays, Scotland reports on Mondays and Thursdays only, Wales reports on Thursdays only, and Northern Ireland has stopped reporting altogether.
The virus doesn’t take a break at weekends.
It doesn’t infect people from time to time.
It doesn’t stop at a border either.
The virus still spreads and kills people every day in the UK and around the world. COVID-19 is NOT over.
We, at PMP, have decided to continue to publish the latest COVID data available every day, especially the Zoe COVID Study estimates – probably more accurate than the UK Government’s own data since free testing has ended in England, and the ONS COVID Infection Survey estimates.
Please, support our work through our crowdfunding to help us to continue our COVID reporting: Donate now.
