Watch Professor Tim Spector of Zoe's latest briefing about the prevalence of Covid-19, the symptoms and what to do to avoid spreading it. Clearly, the government wants the public to think that it's all over, but that is anything but the case.
- Covid cases in the UK have reached record heights and there are more than 350,000 new cases every day.
- Among under 18s, one in ten has Covid!
- Several variants are circulating concurrently, consequently if you've had Covid recently you can still get reinfected by another variant.
- If you have symptoms of a cold, it is twice as likely that you have Covid than that you have a cold.
- Commonest symptoms are: sore throat, headache, blocked nose, cough, runny nose.
- If you have cold symptoms, you should keep away from other people, even if you've tested negative.
- Wear an FFP2 mask on public transport or in crowded places, the worst places being airports.
