Greater Manchester covid hospital admissions rise 50 per cent in a week fuelling 'new wave' fears
The number of patients admitted to hospital with Covid-19 has jumped in the biggest rise since the peak of the last wave of infection, sparking fears that a new wave could be upon us in time for a potential "twindemic" of both coronavirus and flu.
Separate data from the Zoe Health Study, collected through a phone app and based on symptoms reported by volunteers across the country, suggests an average of one in 32 people in the UK was likely to have symptomatic Covid-19 at the start of this week, with rates rising in all age groups. Professor Tim Spector, co-founder of the Zoe study, said: “It’s clear we’re now seeing an autumn wave of Covid-19, combined with increases in hospital admissions.
As predicted, the number of infections has also risen, with positive tests up 48 per cent from the previous week in Greater Manchester. However, the infection rate of 50.2 cases per 100,000 people is not considered to be a true indication of the number of cases in the region, due to the fact there is no longer widespread access to free testing.
