The COVD Diaries – 167 18th September
The number of Coronavirus cases has almost doubled in England in the space of a week, with infections becoming more widespread across all ages, leading one expert to say a second wave has begun.
Almost 60,000 people are thought to have had the virus from 4 to 10 September 2020 – one in every 900 people – with about 6,000 new cases per day, according to the Office of National Statistics survey of randomly selected people in the community.
