Covid is likely to remain with us for years to come. So what will it mean to live with the virus in the longer term?
Coronavirus infections may be receding in the UK - but that does not mean that the virus has suddenly become yesterday's problem.
But the return of people from holidays to work and study after summer holidays, and the onset of cooler autumnal weather could create conditions for another uptick in infections. Right now there is no sign of a completely new variant. But there have been warnings that if one appears, there is no guarantee it will be milder than Omicron.
Chief executive Gemma Peters argues that ministers and NHS leaders could do more to reassure the 600,000 severely immunosuppressed people across the UK. Nearly 800,000 first had the virus at least a year previously. This was based on self-reported long Covid. There is an assumption that this will be lowered to come into line with eligibility for free flu jabs for the over-65s.
