.Office for National Statistics data released yesterday showed that in the week ending July 24, one in 65 people was thought to have had the virus in England.
In Northern Ireland the rate was around one in 65 while in Wales it was one in 160.
Meanwhile, in Scotland, the proportion testing positive dropped to around one in 110.
