- More than 10% of those infected with the most recent coronavirus variation in the UK.
- The Covid-19 virus is more common in 18 to 44-year-olds than in older age groups.

More than 10% of those infected with the most recent coronavirus variation in the UK are experiencing two mental health issues, among the eight symptoms that patients are reporting.
According to recent data, the percentage of patients in England and Scotland who tested positive for the coronavirus in mid-December was likely one in 24, up from one in 50 at the beginning of the month. This indicates that the prevalence of Covid-19 infection is increasing.
Covid JN1
The Covid-19 virus is more common in 18 to 44-year-olds than in older age groups, with the highest regional rates found in London and the South East.
According to the most recent statistics from the winter COVID-19 infection research, 4.2% of individuals living in private households in England and Scotland—roughly 2.5 million people, or one in 24—were probably positive for the virus on December 13.
Compared to 1.5% on November 14 and 2.0% on December 1, this is an increase. Based on data gathered from almost 150,000 people, the study is being conducted by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Reducing interactions with elderly or more vulnerable people is something that the UKHSA director-general for data and surveillance, Professor Steven Riley, suggests. Omicron BA.2.86, which was discovered in August, is the predominant variation that is currently in use in England.
