Coronavirus infections in England reached their highest level yet in October, based on a large study published before what may prove to be a difficult winter.
While hospitalizations and deaths remained low, the React-1 study led by Imperial College London recorded the highest prevalence of cases since the research began in May 2020. Covid infections among study participants increased to 1.72%, or one in 58 people, more than double the level in the previous month’s report.
