The day after Boris Johnson announced a marginal lifting of the lockdown and suggested smaller shops would not be opening until July, and only if the population behaved itself, experts at Oxford university said that COVID19 is no longer at epidemic levels in Britain. New figures show that only a tiny proportion of the population is currently infected. “The latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggests that just 0.24 per cent of adults – approximately 136,000 people – have the virus. Separate surveillance by the Royal College of GPs indicates it may be even less.”
