Earlier this week Health Secretary Sajid Javid warned that Brits could see 100,000 cases per day as restrictions are eased. A new study warns there could be as many as 120,000 cases a day by so-called 'Freedom Day.' The REACT study revealed cases have surged by a factor of four in England since June and they are doubling every six days. The publication writes that with daily cases at about 29,000, this would lead to about 120,000 daily cases by the day restrictions are lifted. Government data shows that case numbers of Covid are on the rise, and there were 32,548 reported cases yesterday, compared to 28,773 the previous day.
