Go figure.

Didn't Boris say everyone should take two lateral flow tests a week? Chemists are providing boxes of tests foc.

Has anyone compared infection rates to school holidays and found an increase in infection rates?

Not as far as I know.

The number of tests per day increased significantly early in March (but varies day-to-day) whereas the number of reported infections has continued to fall since then (again with a little day-to-day variation) and that decline in infections would appear to be pretty consistent regardless of school holidays.

If such analysis is being done it isn't being made public and to be fair given the decline I'm not altogether sure that there's any need when numbers are so relatively small.

Apparently I got my first post wrong! It's NOT school holidays, but school term times - so infection rate rises when children return to school......?

I guessed as much but the same applies: rates have still been falling.
