English COVID-19 prevalence high but growth slowing: study

English COVID-19 prevalence high but growth slowing: studyThe prevalence of COVID-19 infections in England is much higher than it was at the end of August but there are signs that growth in infection rate is slowing, a study by Imperial College said on Thursday. The findings come after Prime Minister Boris Johnson pleaded with Britons to obey the rules imposed to tackle a rapidly accelerating second wave of the coronavirus, with more than 7,000 new cases of COVID-19 reported in each of the last two days. The fall in the R number therefore implies the epidemic's growth might be decelerating.
