It's back!
After a hiatus of 8 months, it's a welcome return for the ONS #COVIDinfectionstudy , and it shows that in England & Scotland the prevalence is around 1.2%.
That's up from the previous week of 1.0%, but still much lower than any prevalence seen last winter.

Excess deaths now highest for middle-aged adults, driven by cardiovascular causes.
