100,000 People Still Getting Infected Daily, but Experts Say R Rate Is Dropping
Experts have claimed that the infection rate is dropping but had already started to slow down before the country went into a second lockdown.
REACT 1 Programme
The REACT-1 project - which has been swabbing tens of thousands of people in England every week - found there had been a significant 'slowdown' in daily infections heading into November following a wave of new cases in the two months prior. Imperial College London experts behind the research said the drop was observed 'right across the country, both North and South, and was not being driven by any one region' - suggesting the three-tiered system of curbs was just starting to take effect before ministers caved and hit the lockdown panic button .
In more good news, scientists on the Covid Symptom Study claimed today the R rate of the coronavirus across the UK was lower than one for the first time since August and now at 0.9. Professor Tim Spector, the King's College London epidemiologist who runs the Covid Symptom Study, said the latest infection data shows that rates of disease are 'falling slowly' across the UK.
Practice Covid Precautions
This means we all need to exercise caution, especially in the Winter months when our immune systems are less robust and more prone to infections. Keep practicing social distancing, wear a mask and carry hand sanitizer with you.
