Across the United Kingdom, COVID infections are on the rise as an estimated 2.3 million people, or 1 in 30, has the coronavirus, an increase of 32%.
Coronavirus
Coronaviruses infect animals, humans, and birds. Human coronaviruses, such as SARS, MERS, and 2019-nCoV cause respiratory distress and even death. The S protein is the infectious agent of the virus.

‘The number of Covid-19 patients in intensive care has reached 211 in England, which is an increase from 111 at the start of June.’
People can be infected even if they have had COVID-19 before, but jabs are helping to protect against serious illness. Health officials are urging anyone over 75 who has not had a vaccine or booster in the past six months, to get one, the report said.
COVID in United Kingdom
"Across the UK we’ve seen a continued increase of over half a million infections, likely caused by the growth of BA.4 and BA.5 variants," Sarah Crofts, from the ONS, was quoted as saying.In its analysis of England, it found infections were going up in all regions and all age groups. In Scotland, which has had the highest COVID-19 rates in the UK since the end of May, the rise in infections may be slowing slightly.
Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.
