We're not expecting any new Covid rules to be announced today. 😷🦠
Only partial Covid data has been published for the Christmas period. But figures show that the number of cases has remained high, with 113,628 infections reported in England on Christmas Day.Meanwhile, the Scottish government said provisional data suggested Christmas weekend
The latest data in London, which was the first to see an Omicron wave, gives us an indication of what to expect.But the growth in hospital admissions - even when you take into account the lag between initial infection and becoming seriously ill - has been much lower at around two-thirds.What's more, the increase in infections appears to have started levelling off before Christmas.
The briefing by scientific advisers on Monday is one of a regular series of updates given to the prime minister, and he has not yet called a cabinet meeting or announced a recall of Parliament. Vaccines and boosters are still essential - they do a great job at protecting against severe disease that could put you in hospital
A record 968,665 booster jabs and third doses were reported in one day last week, and the NHS said a further 1.5 million vaccination slots were available to book in England in the coming days.
