The Office for National Statistics says there is greater uncertainty than usual in the estimates due to a low number of test results received
COVID infections in England have risen for a second week in a row and the latest estimates in the UK have likely been affected by postal strikes, experts said.
However, according to the Office for National Statistics , there is greater uncertainty than usual in the estimates, as well as a longer time lag in reporting the data due to a low number of test results received"possibly" as a result of industrial action by postal workers. During the previous wave of infections in early autumn, the total peaked at just over two million in mid-October.
