The Office for National Statistics said the fall in the amount of people testing positive for Covid-19 during the last few months has ended.
Latest figures estimate that in the week to July 19, around one in 2,000 people in the community in England was suffering from coronavirus, reports MirrorOnline.

Last week's bulletin put the figure at around one in 2,300 people.

The ONS today warned its figures "cannot be directly compared" from one week to the next, because they are based on complex trend models.
