A summer wave of Covid-19 is spreading across the UK as large gatherings, such as music festivals and people coming together to watch the Euros, become a breeding ground for the virus, according to experts.
Here's what we know about the new variants, the symptoms people should be looking out for and how worried we should be about the summer wave of infections. Paul Hunter, professor in medicine at the University of East Anglia, told the Times that although there is evidence of a summer wave of infections, Covid "will never be as serious as it once was". However, elderly and vulnerable people are still at greater risk. "If you are under 40 the risk of death is minuscule," Prof Hunter said. "If you are over 75 the risk is real and significant.
What symptoms should people look out for? Symptoms of the new strain include a stubborn cough or a sore throat that is hard to shift. Dr Malik said symptoms remain largely the same as with previous variants, for example common symptoms include "fever, cough, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, muscle or body aches, shortness of breath, headache, and a runny nose," she said.
