10th October 2024 - The Mirror
​​​​​​​
Health officials have confirmed this afternoon (October 10) that Covid cases are climbing across the UK, spurred by concerning new variants like XEC. The most recent data from the UK Health Security Agency reveals that Covid-19 incidence is going up on 'most indicators'.
Hospitalisations have jumped to 4.55 per 100,000, a noticeable increase from the previous week's rate of 3.72 per 100,000. With 59 COVID-19 'acute respiratory incidents' flagged in the report, the sense of urgency is palpable.
​
Dr Jamie Lopez Bernal, leading Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA, this afternoon said in a statement: "COVID-19 is continuing to circulate, with a slight increase in hospitalisations over the past two weeks.
As winter approaches, we expect flu and RSV to increasingly circulate too, so if you're eligible to get vaccinated against the three main winter threats – COVID-19, flu and RSV – now is the time to take them up and get winter strong.
