England's 'R-number' for Covid has risen and could be over 1.0, meaning the
virus is spreading exponentially, the UK Health Security Agency has warned.
New figures from the Office for National Statistics show around 2.1 million
people in private households in England had the virus in the week to March 5.
And the estimated range of England's Covid reproduction "R" number is between
0.8 and 1.1, the UK Health Security Agency said on Friday.
It also warned daily recorded cases could be "growing each day", a picture which
is reflected across the UK.

An R number between 0.8 and 1.1 means that for every 10 people infected, they
will infect on average between 8 and 11 other people.
The previous week's score was between 0.8 and 1.0.
Experts say the growth rate of infections was -2% to +2%, compared to an
estimated range of between -4% to -1% last week.
One in 25 people were infected with Covid in England last week, according to the
Office for National Statistics.

But case numbers have risen from 1.9 million the previous week - or one in 30
people.
Covid rates rose during the Omicron wave in December and January, with rates
mainly staying around one in 20 people with the virus in England in recent
weeks.
But the Government pressed ahead with plans to scrap remaining Covid
restrictions in England, meaning people with the virus are no longer legally
required to self isolate.
In Wales, the ONS estimate has risen from 94,200 people to 97,900, but the
proportion is unchanged at one in 30.
Northern Ireland saw an increase from 106,300 people, or one in 17, to 143,800
people, or one in 13.
Infection levels have risen in Scotland for six weeks in a row and are now at
their highest since estimates began in autumn 2020, with 299,900 people likely
to have had Covid-19 last week, or one in 18.

Sarah Crofts, head of analytical outputs for the Covid-19 infection survey told
The Guardian: "Today’s data show an increase in Covid-19 infections across the
whole of the UK, with a continued rise of BA.2 Omicron cases,
“It is too early to say whether these increases have been driven by the easing
of restrictions, recent school holidays or something else, but we will continue
to carefully monitor the latest data.”
Findings from the React-1 study, led by Imperial College London suggest a rise
incases among older people.
Scientists say it may linked to factors such as increased socialising, waning
protection from booster jabs and a rise in the more transmissable BA.2 variant
of Omicron.
UKHSA boss Dr Jenny Harries has also warned that the pandemic is "not over" amid
an uptick in cases among older people.
While cases have fallen substantially since the peak of the Omicron wave in
January, infections in England are rising among those aged 55 and older, a new
study found.
Researchers from the Imperial College London's React programme said the rise in
cases could be down to more mixing since restrictions eased and the vaccine
boosters wearing off.
Dr Harries said: "These data confirm that cases have declined substantially
following the peak of the Omicron wave.
"However, the increasing presence of the BA.2 sub-lineage of Omicron and the
recent slight increase in infections in those over 55 show that the pandemic is
not over and that we can expect to see Covid circulating at high levels."
